antifreeze

I am winterizing my Roo 23SS soon and I've been doing my homework on how to do this. I do have a air compressor so I can go either way. I think I'd rather blow out the lines and add a little anti-freeze to the p-traps and tanks rather than pump anti-freeze into the entire plumbing system. Anyone...

Winterization - do you blow out or do you fill with antifreeze? So, which do you do? Why? I have a Roo 183 and am inclined to blow out the lines, but I suppose this is the least effective method? Thanks!

When i winterized our TT today, first blew out the lines with air, then ran antifreeze trough, then blew out with air again. During the process of the AF, because of air in the lines some AF was misting in the air and the LP alarm went off, twice? thought that was strange. Maybe some chemical in...

In a conversation with a friend, I learned that another friend [ a man ], reuses his RV antifreeze from year to year. In the Fall he blows out the water lines with air, and then pumps antifreeze through the system. Then when Spring comes, he blows out the lines and puts the antifreeze, back...

Hi, How much RV antifreeze will I need to winterize my camper? Anything else do people usually need to purchase to winterize there camper? Getting ready to make an order and trying to get everything I need for winter.

Ha ha, thought i'd catch a few of ya with that title! seriously, we just got this fr georgetown 375ts and have looked in vain for where the antifreeze siphon hose attaches for winterizing. on my old unit (1999 coachman class c), it was right by the manifold with easy access to the pump switch to...

Hello, my new ROO 233s has the antifreeze inlet. I understand how to use it thanks to logic, videos and comments from this Site... So thanks! ill be winterizing soon for the first time perhaps this weekend. So, I get the draining of the lines, the draining the HW tank, the bypass the HW, the...

Ok- I sometimes forget how much of a newbie I still am. For the pop-up, we only blew out the lines. For the fifth wheel, I did that, but I did also want to pump antifreeze into the system but I'm not sure how to get the antifreeze from the bottle into the water system. Sounds dumb, I know. My...

All the winterizing threads always talk about RV antifreeze. The pink stuff. I just don't know why regular antifreeze cannot be used. To why not windshield washer fluid. Gotta be a reason. Can someone enlighten me please?

Need some help. Tried using the exterior inlet today to winterize my 8319SS. I bypassed the water heater, shut off valve to fresh water tank, but antifreeze would not pump from jug. Seems simply enough, not sure why it didn't work. After several tries, I disconnected the fresh water inlet to...

Winterizing my 2007 Roo for the first time by myself. Neglected to close the cutoff valve for the Water Heater untill after I added about half a gallon to the system. Pulled the drain plug on the water heater and let the antifreeze drain out. Not sure if there is a problem with having...

just wondering if its necessary to put a liter or so of antifreeze in the freshwater tank? I have done this in the past 3 years but it takes a while to get it out of the system in the spring.(maybe this explains the lump on my neck,just kidding:roflblack:) We have never used the water for...

So, we have a new Palamino Hybrid, 23' with the two bunk ends that extend. Took it out last week to test it out in colder temps to see how it worked. Even down to 38 degrees F we were toasty warm between furnace and/or space heater. Even extended both beds...used the heated mattresses and had...

i read my manual for my passport 3220 BH and it states to put antifrreeze in the fresh water tank. I DO NOT want to do this....does anyone know of a good alternate pump bi-pass method so i can get the antifreeze thru the rest of the system without dumping it in the fresh water tank? I pulled...

The other day my neighbor, who is a first year owner of a seasonal camper next to mine, asked me a question about filling his fresh water tanks with antifreeze and pumping it through the trailer verse connecting it through a special adapter. Now, I've always flushed the line using air or pumped...

Depending on which forecast I look at, it could dip to around 29 deg from 0500-0700 tomorrow morning. Trying to decide if I should head to the storage lot and run antifreeze through my trailer. My concern is any trace amounts of water from this weekend that are in the shower heads or faucets...

Hi, Just bought a new to me forest river Rockwood 5th wheel. Wanted to flush the system out to make sure everything was in working order. Well, I got in there and I noticed the water was a green color when flushing it. should I be concerned? I expected pink but was not sure if some places...

Is it worth the time and effort to put a bucket under the low point drains when dewinterizing and try to recover some of the antifreeze you used to winterize last fall before you sanitize with your bleach solution? Or is it a bad idea? Just thinking out loud, and I didn't find anything when I...

I have a 2012 Wildwood 36BHBS purchased April 2011 and at the end of the season in Oct I was winterizing it and ran into an issue. Just like my other trailer (2000 Cherokee 29Z) I used the fresh water inlet and a funnel to pour 3 gallons of RV Antifreeze into the tank. (We don't drink the...

Hi, new to this. We just bought a new 30 rlss v lite. looking for info on how to use the exterior antifreeze inlet. thank you

For those of you who winterize with antifreeze, what brand do you use and recommend? I see that WallyWorld has SuperTech super cheap, and Prestone at a premium. Does the brand of antifreeze make much difference? Should I spend a few more bucks for the pink stuff? :confused: Thx, Kevin

Just got done draining my camper's water lines and it occurred to me that what if I just left the low point, water heater and fresh water tank, and faucets, open? No water in the system, nothing to freeze, right? I read that I can use windshield washer fluid in the drains, gray and black tanks...

I just bought a gallon of RV antifreeze that lists the 1st ingredient as Ethyl Alcohol !!! Geez, I wonder when the winos of the world will figure this 1 out. :eek: Seriously, I would prefer to put ethyl alcohol in my camper lines rather than the common propylene glycol (the 2nd...

Does anyone know how to put RV antifreeze into a Georgetown VE (specifically, a 280DS, but the other models should be similar)?

Last Fall, I winterized my trailer per Flagstaff's instructions in my Owners Manual. When I removed the drain plug from my water heater (made by Surburban) to drain the heater tank, I noticed a small amount of erosion on the anode surface - nothing to get excited about. I replaced the plug and...
