De winterizing

[swimmer_spe]

Spring has finally sprung here in Northern Ontario. The TT is now moved from it's winter parking spot to the driveway, ready for the season. Now it is time to de winterize it.

Here is my list:
-fill water tank
-pump out antifreeze from lines
-put plug in water heater and switch valves for in service.
-fill water heater
-Turn on propane and test all appliances to see if they still work.
-turn on AC to make sure it works.
-Check all lights

Is there anything I am missing?

I usually take the opportunity to check the brake adjustment and repack the bearings as well.

Leave hot water tank bypass in bypass configuration.
Partially fill fresh tank and dump a couple of times.
Fully fill fresh tank and ad a cup or 2 of unscented bleach.
Turn on water pump and pump mixture through all lines till pink stops pumping out.

Drink a beer.

Drain fresh tank.

Drink another beer while tank drains.

Fill fresh tank and pump through lines till bleachy water is gone.

Turn off pump



Done.

That the best reason why I like using air instead of that pink goo.

Besides, at my age I’m asleep after two beer.....

Turn off pump

Remove hot water tank plug

Reconfigure hot water tank bypass for in line use.

Turn on pump and allow a small amount of water to escape the hit water tank, I will often open a near by hot water tap and insert the plug allowing a portion of the tank to fill and remove the plug to be sure any bugs are rinsed out.

Turn off near by hot water tap, turn of pump lube (food grade lube) and reinsert the anode rod in the tank.

Turn on pump and allow tank to fill.

Test all systems.

Done.

I doubt your tires got any wear while the TT was in storage. I would check the pressure and look for cracks or deterioration on the tires.

Don't forget to clean and tighten your battery terminals. Lubricate whatever needs lubed and check your roof.

I guess its just me but I like to check the tires for ware and pressure. Does your TT need its bearings greased now would be the time for that.
