Buying a used TT already winterized
This is our first camper and we are looking at a used 2011 Cherokee Gray Wolf BHKS. I have researched everything and found several checklists for when we look at it to go over. Problem is being winter...

I have purchased all of my RV,s during cold weather and all were winterized. They were all at a dealer though and 3 of the 4 were brand new. This is what I requested for my PDI.
Have power hooked up and furnace and fridge running 3 hours before I arrived. When I got there, I could tell if the fridge was starting to cool, would fire up the water heater to make sure it kicked on for 15 seconds or so. turn the fridge on gas to make sure it ignited. Check stove, oven, microwave etc.By then its warm enough inside to run the AC. Then hook a bottle of antifreeze to the pump and turned the pump on.(left WH on bypass and low point drains closed)I was able to check every faucet and shower and would make sure the pump did not cycle resulting in a slow leak.I was also confident that the RV was winterized correctly. Check lights, tv, radio, etc and run the genny if it had one.Also hook up the TV to check lights, brakes etc.
