    The ever-popular winterization questions

    Hi all, (Yes, I searched the forum and the Official FB group AND the manual first AND the winterization list from Forest River.) We prefer winterizing by using an air compressor and blowing all of the lines dry, instead of pouring pink stuff in and pumping it through the lines. We do still...

    I'm looking into covers for the 'Beast' and am wondering if there are any recommendations for my 21ss from you folks who have one now? I'm looking for decent quality, but don't want to spend more than $300-400. I'm open to your thoughts and opinions. Thanks everyone!

    Winter trickle charging parallel batteries

    I just removed the parallel batteries from our TT and brought them into my workshop for the winter. I want to use a trickle charger for the next 5-6 months. Can I leave the parallel cables connected between them, and just connect the charger to one battery? It seems like this should be fine...

    Winterizing ice maker line

    I have a 2021 CC 311RL with an LG residential refrigerator. I've shut the water off to the line supplying the ice maker and drained it at the low point drain by the shut off. Is that adequate or does more need to be done?

    2608BS winter battery maintenance with solar but stored under cover

    Normally in the winter I bring my battery home and charge it occasionally to maintain it. My new 2608BS has solar but I store it in a covered storage location. So sun won't reach the solar panel to keep it charged. I even noticed just in a week the batteries ran down some even though I had...

    2021 36D7. Due to family health issues we may be forced to winter in central Indiana. Since the wind here can get vicious, I’m looking into vinyl skirting to go around the bottom and possibly a small space heater to go under it. I’m thinking I’ll have it cut in 4 pieces (front back and sides)...

    Winterizing Winterizing

    I like the title to hang right a little. Back to the task at hand: Did anyone think to drain the water separator in the engine compartment? And what about the water saver valve in the shower?
