winterizing

I cant seem to find the hot and cold water low points on my 815 lance
  • most of the time they are located out side under the sink area. the valves might be under the sink. on one rig I had the valves were under the and behind the sink
  • down load your owners manual from the support section of lancecampers.com it will tell you where they are and how to do it.

    Yes, it is possible. As far as I know, my old S&S only had a drain for the fresh tank, and not a "low point" drain of any sort.

    But I will second the suggestion of trying to find your manual on Lance's website. That is one of the best things about Lance that they have all the old manuals online from what I understand. I have the original for mine and I haven't honestly looked at them on Lance's site, but they are there from what I understand. It'll tell you for sure.
  • Try looking in the dump valve compartment. On our 845 there are two clear vinyl tubes with 90° valves. Under the sink you should find a winterizing valve. When turned to the winterize position the pigtail can be stuck in a jug of RV antifreeze and it siphons from there instead of the freshwater tank and through all the fixtures when you turn the pump on and open the taps including the commode. Don't forget the outside shower if you have one. One gallon ought to do it. You probably have a low point drain plug on the water heater tank that will get that empty. Remember to completely flush the system in spring.
  • I have looked many times and could not find any valve until today. Under the sink lift out the small plywood shelf and under there is two valves, one on cold and one on hot to drain the lines.


    I found the above on an rvnet thread.

    here it is :
