| Winterization
with Antifreeze |
To
winterize with antifreeze you will need the following supplies and
equipment:
- 2 gallons of RV antifreeze
- Paper towels or cloth towel to wipe
up water and antifreeze
- A water heater bypass device on the
water heater feed
- A 5' length of 1/2"
tasteless water hose

| Step
#1 |
| Follow
steps 1-4 from winterization with air. |
| Step
#2 |
| Disconnect
the fresh water pickup hose from the water pump. (This is lead
from the fresh water tank). Connect the 5' length of water hose to
the pump where you just removed the water tank pick up line.
Secure the 5' length with the same clap that was used on the original
hose. Place the other end of the 5' length in one of your two
gallons of antifreeze. |
| Step
#3 |
| Switch
the bypass valve on the water heater to the bypass position. |
| Step
#4 |
| Turn
on your water pump. Open each faucet in the RV and let the water
run until it turns the pink color of the antifreeze. When you have
finished this, reconnect the water hose to its original position and
switch off the water heater bypass. |
| Step
#5 |
| Follow
steps 6 and 7 from winterization with air. |
| To
de-winterize your RV, fill the fresh water tank and flush the water
lines until the water runs clear.
