winter

Hello, have a 2022 Forrest River Forrester Classic 2441DS. We purchased it in May and have been camping in it monthly, and will be 12 months out of the year. The tanks are heated and enclosed according to the brochure. Question is this: If I'm using the RV every month do I need to winterize it?

For those of you that winterize with a compressor, how do you get the water out of the pump? On our Geo Pro we have a city water/winterization hookup on the outside and a valve on the inlet side of the pump that I'm assuming directs the city water inlet to the pump for winterization. Should I...

Ok everyone, we are Floridians who jus moved to Wyoming (Cheyenne). I am also a new TC owner (2018 Real-Lite 1912). Anyways, we plan on camping during the winter months and have never done it. We've owned everything besidea TC and have never winterized living in the south. My question is...

Our camper stays outside in the Ohio winter weather unprotected from the elements of Mother Nature. Should we cover or not cover? If cover what brands are recommended? 202 RBLE

This will be my first winter season in this camper. Curious about any concerns/issues anyone may have encounter camping in snowy/freezing weather. Also looking to make some insulation packs for the canvas areas. Any ideas/suggestions? Looking to use a combination of Thinsulate and insulating...

Hello, New to forum! This is my first 5th wheel and i have a few questions about the winterization. Our old one (KZ) had an antifreeze pickup hose back by the water pump. I cannot find this feature on the Cardinal. Also, it has an on demand hot water heater. no washer /dryer, but has the...

Hi everyone. In October I'll be taking my RV from Western NY to Florida for the winter. I've already used RV Trip Wizard to plan an RV friendly route that takes me on the route of I-90 -> 79 -> 19 -> 77 -> 26 -> 95 and into Florida. I plan on making it a 3 day trip and have used Trip Wizard to...

We lost a year because our SUV was recalled, and took it into the dealer to be de-winterized this year. We mentioned that it had sat for a year, but there didn’t seem to be any concern and we headed out after the service only to find, at our first stop, that the water didn’t work: sputtered and...

Has anyone here used a air compressor to blow out the system to winterize it? We got our other trailer from Bish and they offer free winterization for as long as you own the trailer. They would use an air compressor to blow out the system to winterize it. Unfortanately, we couldn't get the NoBo...

Do you remove the batteries from the smoke detector after winterizing for storage? Thanks

I recently purchased a used 2019 15sw Wolf Pup. I’m just trying to get myself familiar with the plumbing system rather than waiting till it’s cold and I’m in a panic to get everything winterized. Does this model have a line with a cap on it for sucking in the antifreeze? I can’t find any hoses...

First time de-winterizing. Started pump with FW tank empty and system spit out about a cup of glycol. Found and closed the FW drain valve. Filled FW tank half full. Pump will run but no pressure/no water. Directions say pump doesn't need to be primed. Ideas or procedures without getting to...

Need help in dewinterizing our CCC park model RV. Can you walk us through the steps? Thanks

Hey guys. I'm having trouble with my water pump/pressure. I just purchased a 2022 Rockwood Mini-lite a few months ago and took it in to have the dealership de-winterize it just so I didn't screw*it up. Filled the tank up with electric and water pump on and everything is just "sputtering". I've...

I know this has been discussed before because I remember reading some posts about it. I couldn't find those posts again (readily) so here I am posting my question because I am still confused. Old TT had the water heater bypass behind the heater - inline valves that are easy to figure out and...

The weather this spring has been crazy in Illinois(Elwood) and I am wondering if it is now ok to dewinterize my trailer. The temperatures remain above freezing but we are forecast to drop down close to freezing overnight for the next few nights. I have a trip planned for next weekend and wanted...

Just bought a 2023 Solar. Does anyone know where the water pump is located for winterizing the unit.

Howdy. 2016 Shasta rs. Had it winterized by a mobile tech in 9-22. Now to de winterize. There is a white hose going into water heater with the valve at 90 degrees to hose. There is a red hose going into water heater with the valve at 90 degrees. I think I need to turn valves so they are parallel...

Deano asked me for a dewinterizing list to use on his Roo 235S. I put the below together. Let me know if you see any flaws, or want to add/delete/change any steps, and I'll submit it to the board. As you'll notice, I really focussed on the water system, and glossed over the rest. Do you think...

Hi everyone, my wife and I got a used Coachman Catalina Legacy last fall. We winterized it without a problem. We keep the unit at a permanent site all year round with full hookups so we don't use the freshwater tank. My question is, this spring when I de-winterize, do I need to do anything...

Hello all, my wife and I are hoping to ask some questions about full time living in either Alberta or B.C. in the winter. We currently own a sticks and bricks and are looking to sell and rv full time. We have been rv-ing for over 20 years. My questions are about the set up(skirting and extra...

We've been camping, and boondocking, in Arizona, California and New Mexico. All went well, including living off the grid for three weeks. Now it's going to 22 degrees F in southern New Mexico and staying at that temp long enough to cause us to winterize the water system. I know the water...

I'm looking for a ready to roll, turnkey truck and camper combo sale. Must be a true 4-season option as I do a lot of winter camping. This deters me from the FWC and propane heating system due to condensation issues but I'm willing to listen to experienced campers. Just starting out my search...
