    When de-winterizing I used the city water hookup to flush the antifreeze, then filled the FW tank half way and turned on the pump to flush the pump and remaining water lines. The faucets had a lot of air and the pump kept running after shutting the faucet off. I searched the threads for...

    Skylight cover for winter snowload?

    I've been covering my Skylight in the winter with a home made wooden box/cover. My question is: am I wasting my time? Does the skylight need to be protected from snowload? I'm in Northern Ontario so lots of snow. Thanks.

    Winterizing Hassle

    I'm not looking forward to the hassle of winterizing and having to play with anti-freeze. Can't I just drain all liquids from a travel trailer, park it for the winter, and call it a season? Sounds like a no-brainer to me. Don't understand the fuss on winterizing.

    I know there's a lot of variables involved but what is the consensus of length of time below freezing before we need to worry about the lines freezing and causing problems on a stored non-heated camper? Thanks in advance
