Southern winterizing question.

[sgfrye]

this is our first winter owning TT. we live in north carolina with typical mild winters and plan on camping during winter. we will be close to charleston camping new years weekend. low temps for our weather forecast this saturday and sunday has saturday day temp 38, sat night 25, sunday daytime 43, sunday night 22. i plan on "southern" winterizing saturday. please let me know if im forgetting something.

our fresh water tank and pump have not been used yet so they are dry, black and grey tanks have been drained already

1. open low point hot and cold water line drains and water heater
2. blow out water lines 1 faucet at a time, including shower and toilet with 40 psi
3. add rv anti freeze to drain traps and some to black tank

Your Southern Winterizing is what I do for our Pennsylvania winters. It works.
There is no doubt in my mind that it will work for a NC winter.

Add an inch or three to the toilet bowl with it closed. Helps keep the seal from drying out.

Don't forget to drain the outside faucet or shower if you have one.

I had to look at your location before I responded. If you were farther South where it is warm year round, I might have said "Open the windows" LOL.

Do you have vent covers over your roof vents? If you have them or add them, you can leave your roof vents open and crack a crank out window (tilted window, not slide open) or two to allow ventilation.

Sounds like you have it covered.
