winter

Hello all - I just purchased a 2020 Kodiak Cub 175BH. My family and I are regular year-round tent campers so the cold doesn't bother us and we plan to use the camper all winter. In order to do so we plan to not use the fresh water tank, water heater, sink, or shower. However, we DO want to use...

Has anyone ever upgraded their 5th wheel old style water heater valves, and water pump valves behind the basement panel to three way valves that can be accessed easily? I just upgraded my Impression 26RET, and will post some pictures at a later dates. No more crawling inside the basement, just...

Attempted to winterize using the air compressor method Saturday. Drained low points. Drained fresh water. Left the fresh water drain valve open. OOPS! When I tried to blow out each faucet - no water came out. Zero. None. Do the low point drains work so well on the Crusader that all the faucet...

Does anyone have the specs for what's included in this package? My trailer packet has nothing and FR has not replied to an email request for details. I am trying to figure out how much protection the package ads. Where I live temps drop into the 20's at night and generally rebound to the...

Hello All, I'm new here and have an intro thread in the Welcome Mat section. We just picked up the new SunSeeker and am trying to plan to take it winter camping with possible overnight stays and daily parking at ski area parking lots with no electrical hookup. I've done a bunch of searching...

After I turned the valve to allow the AF to be taken up by the pump it seems to have gone in the tank instead of the pump. Looks like a 2 way valve and might be installed improperly. Anyone have this issue.

Hi All, I was just curious as to what others may be doing in their A Frame for insulation. I’m planning on using the Camper Dry during the Winter.. I got the Pool noodles for the roof to wall seams... we got foam mats cut to the floor, but I’m looking at something for the roof and walls.... I...

Winterizing our 2020 Salem 26DBUD for the first time. Not planning on covering the trailer but should we cover the air conditioner?

I dunno... I do ours. Figure water might lay in the lines between the Showermiser valve and the fresh tank. While I had pink antifreeze goin through the antifreeze inlet through the water pump I ran the Showermiser hot and cold for about 5 seconds each till I saw pink a/f run out the fresh...

I have a 2020 Sunseeker 2500TS Class C. I live in the mountains of North Georgia. pretty mild winters, but we do often see well below freezing temps in the middle of winter. I have a button in my RV which I think turns on heating pads on the tanks and mabye some other places, I suppose it...

In late October I started getting our 378 ready for winter ( due to covid this will be first time we aren't heading to US so this is new territory for me) . One of the things I read one should do was doing an oil change which I did. I ran the engine a few minutes( to check for leaks) and let...

I am ready to order an Isata 5 28ss with the explorer package. Do I need to winterize it if it sits on my drive for a week between trips if it is on shore power? Is draining the tanks enough or even necessary? We will base out of Colorado Springs Lloydster future Isata 5 w/ explorer pkg

Good evening. I went to a fifth wheel this year from a travel trailer and it’s a very different setup as far as wet bay. In the travel trailer I just hooked up a hand pump to the city water intake, bypassed water heater, and pumped antifreeze to all outlets. Then drained tanks. Now I have a...

We will be winterizing our 2017 379FLOK Sandpiper for the first time this weekend. Any tips or tricks on how to do this?

I hang out in a couple FB Mini Lite groups and thought I'd join the FR forum and post a few items. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qyWt7-oOhPp1hAhq-iS4HhEx2GYu3uiHr59igtISlLk/edit?usp=sharing I'm always open to suggestions to improve it. Adam

I’m new to RVing and am about to put my 2003 Windsong 33 footer away for winter. My driveway is sloped pretty good. Is it ok for me to use my hydraulic levellers to get it some what level and leave them down for the winter? I live in Canada and get lots of snow. Thanks Mac

2017 REV RB. TRUMA COMBI HEATER. Please hold comments about any other kind of heater as they are different. I was told in my first year of ownership that there was no heater bypass. I recently read in this forum that some REV owners do have a heater bypass. If I have one I cant see it or any...

As part of the winterizing process I routinely take the caps off the hot and cold drain lines under the TT to drain the lines (I use compressed air to blow out the lines). This year when I took the cap off the hot water side I was set back by a terrible sewage smell. The water got on my hands...

Thanks to folks here and some other sites I figured out how to winterize my Rockwood 2104S TT. Deciding that it would be good to have this info all in one place I wrote up a short description of the work, with pictures. I'd like to get some comments as to whether the info here is correct and...

Hello, We just purchased a 2015 Charleston 430bh and I am trying to figure out how to winterize it. I have had 5th wheels but I have never owned a coach before and had to deal with a icemaker. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

We have a 2021 Apex 288BHS that we purchased in the Spring. I live in Central MD, but with the temperatures expected to dip to 28 Wednesday night, I wanted to know when I should think about winterizing. It stays plugged in, we have the heat running now (set to 55), and we have a heated and...

Just purchased our XLR HYPERLITE 3212 two months ago and I can’t find anything on winterizing it. My previous RV was fairly straightforward and everything was accessible. Basically the info I’m trying to find is.... 1: does the pump under the cabinets left of the sink have a bypass valve and...

We have a 2018 Sunseeker and we're thinking about using it this winter, as long as we can do so safely temperature wise. We have the Arctic Pack but have never used it. My question is for those who winter camp. What kind of temperatures can we safely camp in? We can activate the Arctic Pack...

Greetings... We have a Dometic 4 door refrigerator RM1350. It has an icemaker. We will NEVER use the icemaker as we do not drink the water in this RV Park and we are here more or less permanently, using it as our summer headquarters. So I want to winterize the whole coach and need to do the...

With the temps here in the Southeastern region getting cooler, it will be time to winterize my 2020 FR3 DS30. This will be my first winter with my FR3 and I wanted feedback on what you have done in the past with using protection covers vs. not covering. I know this question is a bigger one with...
