    RV Antifreeze

    Is the pink Antifreeze environmental safe? If I dump on the ground will it kill grass and the dog? If it is dangerous where do I dispose?

    What to do with antifreeze?

    Well, the weather going above freezing and the snow starting to melt has only accelerated my desire to get the trailer out and start prepping for the season. Since I like to be prepared (must be all those years of scouting) I'm currently reviewing the dewinterizing process. I've found lots of...

    Help! Where can I buy antifreeze today in naples, fl

    Walmart doesn't carry. Face palm! Would appreciate any leads. Or, should we just blow the lines on the unit? If so, where does a girl do that from? Thanks again.

    Antifreeze odor

    I've got a '14 Berk 390FL 60. Anyone else smelling antifreeze when the motor is running? I can't see anywhere that it's leaking and the level doesn't appear to be dropping. I've noticed this since new. Only have around 3k miles on her. Is this normal with diesels? Also, ran it for a little over...

    RV Antifreeze Into Fresh Water Tank

    Some use a pump to push antifreeze through the fresh water system, but some of us just put it into the fresh water tank and let the coach's pump do the work. A problem doing this with our Sunseeker is that the tank fill is high and trying to hold a funnel and the antifreeze over your head is...

    Winterizing 21SS with input for antifreeze

    I need to winterize my 21SS this weekend and I'm not quite sure how to get the antifreeze into the system. With my PUP, I poured the AF into the fresh water tank & then used the water pump to circulate it through the system. However, the 21SS (2013 model) has an input for antifreeze right next...

    Antifreeze port..water pump..confusing

    I have always winterized my own units, because they were small....I just hooked up my air compressor and blew out the lines, and added antifreeze to the drains and p-traps. But now I have a larger, more modern, trailer that has an outside 'antifreeze port' , so I thought I'd give it a try...

I bought a few gallons (on sale) not knowing to check the content label for alcohol. Low and behold, Orschelins does not have a content label on there product. I don't want to...

    RV Antifreeze - What's your flavor ????

    There's a bunch of different brands of RV Antifreeze (the Pink Stuff) that you can buy. All seem to protect down to -50 degrees F. Wondering if they're all basically the same or are there differences to consider. What do you use?

    Winterizing - RV Antifreeze vs. Compressed Air

    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

    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!

    can antifreeze smell set off LP alarm?

    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...

    Do you reuse antifreeze...

    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...

    Getting antifreeze in for winterizing?

    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...

    Antifreeze, pink or green or blue

    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?

    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...

    Running antifreeze through the fresh water tank

    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...

    Supposed to drop to 29 degrees tonight for a couple hours -- should I run antifreeze?

    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...
