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.
