Winterization Tips

To prepare your rig's plumbing systems for winter storage

 

 

1. Drain all tanks. Flush out the black water and gray water tanks and be sure to get them as empty as possible. Drain the fresh water tank.

 

2. Drain the water heater and close the drain valve.

3. Drain fresh water plumbing system using low point drains if provided. Open all faucets and step on the toilet pedal as well. Get as much water out of the system as possible. Close the low point drains.

 

4. If your rig is equipped with an icemaker or washer/dryer, follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures to winterize and protect these appliances. 

 

 

 

 

 

If mice have infested your home-away-from-home, then your vehicle is prone to the expensive damage resulting from mice chewing through wiring and nesting in vital components. Even worse, you and your family could be prone to offensive odors, potential messes and even disease.

 

 

 

 

 

Helpful Tips

 

We have had two Trailers next to each other, one protected with dryer sheets, the other not, the one without the dryer sheets was destroyed by mice, the one with the dryer sheets was clean as a whistle, and smelled pretty good, to boot. The dryer sheets really, truly work. -  Karen Short
