    Winterizing XL

    Just to double check from those of you who have winterized an XL. Attached pic shows pump and what I believe to be a hose used to pump in antifreeze. Insert hose into antifreeze, turn valve to connect to antifreeze, turn on pump and then turn on hot and cold water faucets everywhere until all...

    Winterizing Rockwood 213HW A Frame

    Hi! Is there a particular place I should attach a air compressor to blow out my AFrame Rockwood? I’ve taken the water heater plug out, opened the shower and the sink, and opened the water plug in the tank. Anything else I should do to make sure all water is out? I live in WY so we have some...

    Winterizing and Water Pump

    I had a moment of panic this afternoon winterizing my camper. I fed in the pink stuff the same way I always do, but the pump wasn’t sucking it in. Instead it was just pouring out into the camper and making a mess. We have had full hookups every time we camped this year, so the last time we used...

    Winterizing A frame hardside

    This is a newbie sort of question, I have a 2015 FR Hardside A128s. It has no waste water storage tank, I have drained the fresh water tank and blew air through the system. My question is why do I need to charge the system with antifreeze if there is no water to freeze? I must be missing...

    Winterizing and still able to use during winter

    I asked this question a few days ago and I received several great responses. In one response, it was suggested that the water heater anode rod be removed to drain the tank. I think I saw in another post that a deep socket 1 1/16 inch socket is needed. I will need to add that to my toolbox. Is...

    Winterize question

    Newly purchased 2022 Sabre 38DBQ. Our campground will be disconnecting power before I can winterize. I know my battery (with juice pack) will provide enough power to close the slides. Will my residential refrigerator drain my battery when the 120v is disconnected?

    I have a Rockwood ESP, and we will be storing our trailer at a storage area for the winter. (yay, suburb life!) Am I ok to winterize in my driveway, then tow it to the facility? Or should I take everything with me and winterize it in place there? There's no shower or toilet, so it's just the...

    Battery maintainer over winter

    This is the first winter for my camper trailer. I will be covering it and debating the best way to maintain the battery. I am inclined to not have the 30A cable plugged in. Instead I am thinking about turning the battery disconnect switch off and connecting a battery tender/maintainer to the...

    Winterizing?

    We like to camp all year and have never fully winterized our rvs that were parked on driveway at home when not being used. The 5th wheel basement had ducting to the cabin and a small quartz heater ran all winter at a temperature of 70 degrees. We did put rv anti-freeze in the sink traps and in...
