St ep #6: Flush the toilet until antifreeze appears. Pour a cupful

of antifreeze down each drain. Pour some RV antifreeze in the

toilet, and flush it into the holding tank to prevent any

remaining water in the tank from freezing. If your water heater

is equipped with an electric heating element, turn the switch off.

This will protect the element if the RV is plugged in while in

storage. Make sure all faucets are closed.

St ep #7: Consult your RV owner?s manual for specific

winterizing instructions for icemakers and washing machines.

Your RV plumbing system is winterized, but as I mentioned

earlier, don?t forget to prepare other items on the RV for cold

weather storage too. Now you won?t have any unpleasant, not

to mention costly, surprises waiting for you next spring when it?s

time to go camping in the RV.
