I have a Flagstaff 2018 23FB microlight TT and I see fresh water dripping out from my antifreeze input valve. I use a pressure control valve to regulate my portable water from the campground hook up to my portable water input . When I incrementally increase the water pressure to 4 the fresh...
Hi,
I recently bought a used 2005 Gulfstream Independence and am doing some work on it and I noticed that the coolant for the engine was really low so I wanted to fill it but I am not sure what coolant to use for the engine.
Any help would be appreciated it.
We own a 2016 Coachmen Freelander Micro 20CB class C Motorhome. I winterized all the water and drain lines last November and see no evidence of leaks. Currently, we have no plans to go camping due to health issues and have the unit in storage. Is it Ok to leave it winterized with the RV...
At my local Walmart the Walmart brand of Rv antifreeze is on clearance for a dollar a gallon I bought enough for the next three years and only cost me 10 bucks so if anyone wants to stock up go check it out
Went out to check on the TT this evening to check the antifreeze level in the stool. Guess what, it was slushy. Is that normal? Got down to 18 degrees last night. Thought that stuff was suppose to not freeze. Label on the jug says -100 degrees and this was a popular brand....really worried about...
I need to pick up a few more gallons of antifreeze for our return trip from phoenix. I want to buy it here at home guessing that antifreeze might not be a popular item in phoenix. (edit--the HD site lists hundreds in stock at their phoenix stores--for snowbirds like me!)
to my surprise, the...
I have a 2020 Roo with the water miser in the shower. I know that if I am using the city water fill that if I use the water miser it will flow into my fresh water tank. So based on that info.... If I was at a campsite with no water hookup. Could I fill my fresh water tank by using a combo of...
We have a 2021 FR 5th Wheel with a Nautilus plumbing control panel. I've followed the instructions on setting all the valves, blowing out the lines, draining the hot water tank etc. but I can't get the pump to pull antifreeze from the container even holding the container above the intake level...
Every year this time I read about fellow travelers winterizing their fresh water lines with antifreeze. I can find no "port" to input antifreeze on my 241QBXL. I've helped a fiend with her class C and its very a simple process on the outside of her RV.
There is no such connection my TT. Does the...
This is my 2nd year winterizing this camper. Last year no problems:
- Remove anode rod & drain water heater - check.
- Bypass water heater - check.
- Open all the faucets and the low point drain plugs - check.
- Close 'em all once the water stops dripping out - check.
- Hook up air pump (set to...
I am winterizing a 2516g and trying to pump antifreeze through the water lines. We only use the city water hookup during our camping trips. The internal pump runs when turned on, but does not start drawing up antifreeze. Because we don't use the internal pump, does it need priming? If so, is...
Winterized 2020 Cardinal 3456 today. This is the third time I have done so. Previous two times antifreeze was immediately drawn into the system. Today it was variable. Water pump ran continuously and much of the time failed to pull in antifreeze. We eventually got all faucets and toilet to show...
2021 Wolf Pup 16BHS here.
So, I'm pretty sure I accidentally sucked a few gallons of antifreeze into the hot water heater while winterizing it.
You can probably imagine how this happened. I had drained all water out of the trailer first, including blowing it out with an air compressor so that...
Hey Gang-
I hope y'all are doing well.
I did a search for other coolant and heater removal threads and did get some info but it only brought up more questions.
We were going to remove our rear heaters and I thought that the valve with separates the engine system from the rest was in the closed...
So I ruined my water pump threads last fall installing my line to draw antifreeze into the system after the water tank. I looked at the few options that are out there and they seemed chinsey, cheap, and looked to reduce the water flow substantially. After some research I found a brass webstone...
While winterizing last Fall I messed up while filling the system with RV antifreeze. The line shutoff valves were in the wrong position and antifreeze began running through the water heater. The anode rod was already removed and the antifreeze was running out of the heater. I know I should have...
I was just wondering. I live in california and we do not have snow, maybe some rain here and there in the winter. Do I need to drain out my water and put antifreeze in there? or is it not necessary?
Please advise..
thank you
Newbie winterizing question. Live is South Texas where rarely gets cold, but now that I purchased a camper it is going to drop to 5 degrees! My Rockwood Mini-Lite 2507S has an Antifreeze Inlet that says "to antifreeze, close the valve to the tank, open the valve to the inlet". I believe this is...
So I am put doing my monthly inspection of my camper and I found the antifreeze in the toilet is frozen. No rock hard but still slushy. Is this normal? It’s been cold not nothing below 10-20 degrees.
Thoughts?
Btw: this is not a mix in the toilet. I put about 2 cups in after I filled the...
Our 2016 Vengeance 320A is parked in an RV Park near Salt Lake City. We have to be gone for about 8 days, and although it is skirted and the tank heaters are turned on, I am being extra cautious because the coming week's forecast is colder than we have had so far this winter.
Therefore, I...
So there I was crammed in the basement of my 5th wheel, trying to figure out where the antifreeze puddle was. 3 gallons of antifreeze just doesn’t disappear.
Or does it?
Back story: first time winterizing the new rig with the fancy water control panel (Nautilus P4). I read the directions (I’m a...
Anyone have any experience using the antifreeze inlet on the side of the Geo Pros near the city water hookup? I've done the following
- Emptied all tanks,l ow point drains and water heater.
- Engaged the water heater bypass'
- At the water pump engaged the fresh water tank bypass so pump pulls...
