winter

The dealer said the travel trailer has been winterized. But is it? If it is from the factory to the dealer I would assume no water has been run through the system. During the PDI I did not check the water or sewer being it would be below freezing for a while yet. I did notice the andoid for...

In my Isata 5 when winterizing this year the antifreeze gets pumped into the fresh water holding tank. I thought the valve might be bad so I changed it but same thing happened, Anyone have a clue?

For the past 10 + years we've spent winter in Florida ( KOA Okeechobee) Frankly it's getting a little stale. One previous year we visited AZ as a side trip b4 heading to FL ( Grand Canyon and Sedona were bucket list items ). We found the scenery drop dead gorgeous I know good campgrounds are...

Looking to do Dec-Mar next season in Sedona. Looking at the weather it's got freezing temperatures during those months. We're Florida's so haven't done cold winters yet. Has anyone done a winter in a Riverstone 39FK?

Hi Getting ready for a winter vacation departing MN to warmer parts of the US. My trailer storage under a mesh tarp has seemed to work well keeping pine sap, bird poop and needles off the roof seal though I had to clean the snow off the tarp since I didn't want the tarp to freeze to the top of...

Hello all, not sure I’m in the correct area. We are taking our 19 FR cruise lite to KY next month. Temps may be really cold. Do I need a heated hose and any other suggestions to avoid issues if it drops to freezing ?

2019 Rockwood 2104s. I live in Utah and have winterized. Thinking now that I might want to take the trailer out for a week or so down to Moab area. Temps will probably be highs of 35(ish) and lows of 15-25. Will not worry about using trailer plumbing system and de-winterizing (will work out...

It was brought to my attention that when dewinterizing that I should open all the faucets and low points to drain the antifreeze before running water thru each faucet. Normally I would just run water thru each faucet instead. Draining the low points seems to be a great idea but what to do with...

Who all on here is living in their RV during winter months like us in northern states (we are in the Catskill Mtn. area). What we did to prepare for winter living includes multiple things including getting and installing (DIY) an actual rv skirting made of marine grade heavy duty vinyl in dark...

Christmas camping this year in the Florida panhandle...normally, the weather is pretty nice, but it was surely cold this week. Three nights and four days in the 2020 HW27KS at Blackwater State Park, where night temps were 18-20 degrees, and day temps were around 35. Kept the water line from...

I have a question about extreme cold conditions for an RV. It will be 9 degrees here in Georgia in a few days (never gets that cold!). My camper (2021 Palomino Solaire 217BH) was recently winterized with the pink stuff. I followed the procedure with the exception of the battery being dead, so I...

Hi all, While I am not new to campers and RV's, I am new to this Sunseeker 2860 DS class C. Living in Central Florida Idid not think it would be necessary to blow out and drain the water lines. However, the weather guesser's are already saying there is a potential for a hard freeze...

I have tank heaters and, I think, I understand they have their own thermostat and, as long as on shore power, they should operate as programmed. My question is that in Texas we have lows in upper 20’s then 65 degree days. Should I be turning the switch on and off as temps dictate or just turn...

I have winterized my Isata 5 4 times with no problem, This year when i try to pump the antifreeze through it pumps it into my water tanks with the valve either way. i thought it might be a bad valve, so I changed it. still same problem. Any Ideas?

Okay, please don't shoot me, but... this is not about a forest river camper..I use to have a Cherakee grey wolf and used this forum for questions and it is a great forum.. My new[ish] trailer is a Lance model 1985 (Hiss, Hiss) ... the Lance forum is kinda sucky (all they seem to care about is...

First off I have a 2020 FR XLR BOOST 39’9” toy hauler. I am in Idaho and it's winter. I had heat pads for the tanks installed and I supposedly have the artic package. So I went to drain my black water tank and found the waste gate was frozen. I used a heat gun and after some time got it open...

Are there any diagrams on line showing where Forest River puts low-point drain valves on a Flagstaff 22FBS? The PDFs I've found so far are useless. Even if I just knew how many there are, I'd know if I've found them all.

I added a 110 watt solar cell and an inverter with two electronic mouse chasers for winter storage. I am hoping it gets enough sunlight even with Michigan snow to Lee my battery above 50% running the inverter and normal parasitic load...

Hello all still loving my 2008 255DS I have it all winterized antifreeze in all the spots and areas. But this is my first RV that has a black Tank Flush. Which I actually totally forgot about. I have searched the Forest River Forum and found so many different answers. So you that own a 255DS or...

Brought my trailer in for some minor repairs about 2 months ago. Due to parts and labor shortages, it's still there. Since one of the repairs is to the plumbing, I didn't bother winterizing it before it went up thinking I'd have it back long before the real cold weather set in. Well, here we are...

Hey all... next question for my new '23 233s... regarding Battery Winterizing I have the double solar panels on the roof and a single battery(non-lithium) - both stock from the factory/dealer. I will be storing the ROO offsite, but outside & uncovered For the winter should I: A. Leave it...

My water pump isn’t pumping Antifreeze from the jug. I’ve tried turning the valve both ways but nothing happens. Any ideas?

I recently winterized my Leprechaun 319MB following my usual anti-freeze method. After I finished I thought about the city water line that’s used when the water source selector is in the “city” position and came up with a question. I have never seen any mention of winterizing this line and was...

Just for reference anyone winterizing their NoBo 19.6, there is an antifreeze intake tube inside the left side "nightstand". The tube is connected with a valve inline with the line coming up from the fresh water tank. Turn the valve so it is in line with the tube. Place tube in jug of...
