    First winter

    This year we won’t be able to head south until February. Will be in north Texas until then. If the temperatures will be below freezing and I need to be away from my 5th wheel for several hours or even one night would the “fireplace“ heater be enough to keep water from freezing? I have a furnace...

    2022 Hemisphere 36FL Wintering

    Hey gang, does anyone know of a video to show how to Winterize a Salem Hemisphere 36FL. This is our first 5Th wheel and has the wet bay control center. We’re accustomed to our little 20ft Kodiak and the three valves behind the water heater before drawing in anti-freeze. The 36FL just has on big...

    Winterize valve install

    Hello everyone, we just picked ip a 2012 3010 Sunseeker. Wondering if any body has installed the winterizing valve and where. Coming from a TT things are a little tighter on the Rv. I was thinking to just pull out the inline screen filter on the incoming water line and install there. Any...

    2023 E Pro 19FD Winterizing

    I am confused about how to put in the antifreeze. There is a connection outside and they just sold me a valve and hose kit to put in so I can use the electric pump in the trailer. Is the valve outside just for a hand pump? If so does this valve go in under the sink?

    battery and winter travel

    I have found tons of posts about winter travel and furnaces, winterizing etc. But nothing about what to do with the battery. There is also plenty about how you should store your battery inside during the winter storage period and not leave it on the trailer due to the affects of freezing. So...

    Q re: winterizing

    I bypassed and drained water heater, drained water tank, opened low point drains, opened and leave open all faucets including inside and outside showers, ran pump dry and put RV antifreeze in sink/toilet/shower drains. Couldn't get to final step of blowing out lines with air. Temps 50 during...

    Water Filter Housing - Winterizing

    I winterized our 2022 Rockwood Roo 233S the other day by getting antifreeze in all the pipes. The one thing I have always struggled with is the water filter housing piece. On our old Roo19, I would remove the housing, empty the water, and put the housing back in place. But, it would fill up...

    Winterize...forgot black tank flush line

    2024 Rockwood 2608bs: So I winterized last week using RV antifreeze and all went well until reading somewhere to make sure you don't forget the black tank flush. I also didn't winterize the ShowerMiser line. Can I just use the air compressor system and just blow out the black tank flush line...

    Winterizing city water connection in a Sunseeker 2440

    The videos I watched showed removing the small mesh screen in the city water intake to access a release vale. When done remaining fresh water came out eventually followed by RV antifreeze. I attempted to remove the screen with needle nose pliers to no avail and crushed the sides toward the...
