    Winterizing

    Our 2013 Palomino Columbia has both a "winterizing" valve in the water closet, as well as a hose port, labeled "Winterizing." The owner's manual doesn't offer any info. How are these used in conjunction with each other?

    Winterization and batteries

    Morning! What does everyone suggest when putting my RV away for the winter do so with the engine and coach batteries in my class C? I will not have access to electricity so a battery tender isn’t an option. Do you remove the batteries and take home to keep trickle charge on? Or simply...

    Winterizing via city water connection

    Hi, on my Coachmen Leprechaun, the water pump is installed in such a way it is almost impossible to install a tube to run into jugs of antifreeze. If I winterize by pumping antifreeze through the city water intake, through all faucets and toilet, etc., is that enough, or am I missing some...

    Wolp Pup FQ winterization - not so empty gray & black tanks,

    per sensors anyway. After last trip to OBX's oregon inlet, I did empty the gray, emptied the black and went thru several hose rinse(flush king reverse flush) at the dump station across the park. The TT has the bypass hose already so I'm thinking I just need to run RV anti-freeze in the system...

    Shore power for winter storage/battery maintenance?

    Hi all, This is my first winter storing my Georgetown 350TS. We’re storing it outside and it will be covered by a full cover with ventilation. I know I have to keep my batteries healthy through the winter. I’ve seen different options like trickle chargers like the Noco Genius 2X2. If I...

    ANOTHER Winterizing mystery

    Ok, I’ve been around a while. For the first time I used RV antifreeze on my 2015 Cherokee. Used to run in the air pressure group, but, you guys convinced me to go with the antifreeze. So, I learned earlier this year from youse, there is a little button under the screen in the city water port...

    Winterizing Fuel Tank ?

    What if anything do you put in your fuel tank for the long winter sleep? I have heard to make sure it is full and don’t add anything I have heard doesn’t matter what level it is at and don’t add anything I have heard put fuel line antifreeze in no matter what level. Thoughts - Experiences...

    Is it ok to winter-store 2-6 volt batteries in an unheated garage?

    Is it ok to keep 2-6 volt batteries on a Battery Tender in an unheated garage over the winter in Pennsylvania? My husband always put them in our basement but after 2 knee replacements, he struggles to carry them downstairs. Our 21FBRS is stored on a storage lot without electricity. Will it...

    Floridians wintering in Ft. Collins, CO 😳

    I have been scouring the forum for great advice on how to winterize our 38’ 2015 Wildcat for living in this winter. I’ve found some great advice - heat tape, heated water line, smooth pipe instead of stink slinky - but I have more questions! Somewhere it was mentioned that if the tanks were...

    I have an idea and wonder if it makes sense. We live up by Duluth Minnesota and winter starts up here around the middle of October (earlier this year). When we retire we would still like to use our fiver in Jan and Feb. So we were thinking of "storing" the camper somewhere further south for the...

    Winterizing problem

    Hi folks, So our first time winterizing our 2019 Roo, so we paid a guy to help us learn how to do it. Ran into a problem that the guy couldn't solve, hoping for some insight from this great community. When he was running the antifreeze through the inlet valve, found that antifreeze ended up in...

    Two easily missed things during winterizing.

    Just a couple things for first time winterizing people. First, before pumping antifreeze use a 5 gallon bucket and empty anything remaining in waste tanks. This will allow a greater concentration of antifreeze at the waste valves. Second, after done running antifreeze through faucets, toilet...

    Using the winterizing port

    I was wondering, Is the winterizing port on the rear of my 2806BS only for hooking up the air compressor to blow out the lines? If so (or not) how does one run antifreeze into the lines? I use to take off the water pump feed and hook it up to a gallon of antifreeze. Thanks in advance
