    Winterization-Water Pump not pulling antifreeze

    I have read many of the threads on this forum concerning winterizing my 2014 8289WS Fifth Wheel. This unit has never been winterized, and we have never used the fresh water tank/water pump because we have left it in Florida for 2 years during the winter. We have traveled extensively and have...

    Winterizing 17 Roo 19 with an antifreeze inlet

    Confused to say the least. Could someone explain the proper/best procedure to winterize a 17 Roo 19 with an antifreeze inlet. I will drain all fixtures, use the air compressor method to blow out the lines and drain again. Do I still have to do this? And my next question is what is the best...

    Windshield washer antifreeze

    Just because I have several gallons on hand, I am considering using some car windshield washer antifreeze in my sink traps and holding tanks this year when I winterize. I can't think of a good reason why it wouldn't work. Any comments?

    Should I Change the Waterline Antifreeze

    My coach was winterized last November. We were not able to use the coach this past season due to medical issues but are planning to head south right after Christmas. Question is whether the waterline antifreeze is still good (I don't know how long it lasts). I always flush and sanitize on the...

    adding antifreeze intake valve...

    I want to add an antifreeze intake valve/line between the tank and water pump in my new 195BH. I don't want to use the Camco kit as the pump's a little hard to reach, plus I want to make the line long enough I can route it outside to suck water from a tank should the on-board fresh tank run...

    HD Extended Life Coolant

    After going nuts with coolant research, I have come to the conclusion that this stuff FAQ - Final Charge | PEAKhd.com is the best stuff to get, in particular for my 1997 DT466 engine. It is an OAT type heavy duty ELC without nitrite and (most importantly) compatible with silicon seals. It also...

    Pump won't pull antifreeze {OP reports 'problem solved'}

    Trying to figure out if my pump is broken or if I've done something wrong. I've never used the pump with the exception of testing it when I got the camper last year and it pulled from the fresh water tank fine. It hasn't been in freezing conditions since that test. The pump seems quiet. I...

    Winterization/Antifreeze/Season Ending For Me/This Sucks!

    Put RV antifreeze in city water connection?

    I just read a comment on another thread where someone mentioned putting the RV antifreeze into the city water connection when winterizing. That is the first time I have seen that mentioned. Should I do that when I winterize my Sunseeker?

    Problem Winterizing

    I am just Winterizing for the second time. I follow the instruction, and the pump sucks the antifreeze in, the cold taps soon show the red coloured antifreeze, but the hot taps do not have any flow. I can't recall this happening last year. Any ideas? John

    Winterizing - where is antifreeze inlet?

    I know there is a winterize forum but thought I'd have a better chance here. On my 2010 21SS I don't see any inlet with valve for antifreeze like my old trailer. Is there one and where is it located? You lucky guys with a newer one apparently have it on outside. I found the drains just...
