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....

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...
Our 5th wheel is now sitting on our new land up in northern Wisconsin giving us the comforts of home...until i go outside to sit on my Luggable Loo seat/bucket combo out in the freezing cold. So, i'm wondering what would be the downsides to using the bathroom in the 5th wheel during the winter...
Our 2013 Palomino Columbia has both a "winterizing" valve in the water closet, as well as a hose port, labeled "Winterizing." The owner's manual doesn't offer any info. How are these used in conjunction with each other?
We have generally stayed out in our Quantum KM24 for extended periods. Our next trip will last into winter, possibly as late as February in a moderately cold location (some days below freezing). Several items have come up that don't seem to be covered in the owners literature.
BTW, our coach...
Morning!
What does everyone suggest when putting my RV away for the winter do so with the engine and coach batteries in my class C? I will not have access to electricity so a battery tender isn’t an option. Do you remove the batteries and take home to keep trickle charge on? Or simply...
anybody have a 2019 26 rbws flagstaff superlite . I having a problem winterizing it..There only two values one under the kitchen sink which is the hw tank and one under the br sink It seem like im not getting enough af thru the line
I recently purchased this unit and it is time to winterize. I have owned several types of RVs in the past and had no problems winterizing them, but I cannot locate drains etc to winterize this unit. Anyone have any info on this particular model?
First time with this model. Are there any videos out there for this one? I feel like I know, but the configuration is a little different with this pump and line system.
Hi, on my Coachmen Leprechaun, the water pump is installed in such a way it is almost impossible to install a tube to run into jugs of antifreeze. If I winterize by pumping antifreeze through the city water intake, through all faucets and toilet, etc., is that enough, or am I missing some...
per sensors anyway. After last trip to OBX's oregon inlet, I did empty the gray, emptied the black and went thru several hose rinse(flush king reverse flush) at the dump station across the park.
The TT has the bypass hose already so I'm thinking I just need to run RV anti-freeze in the system...
Hi all,
This is my first winter storing my Georgetown 350TS. We’re storing it outside and it will be covered by a full cover with ventilation.
I know I have to keep my batteries healthy through the winter. I’ve seen different options like trickle chargers like the Noco Genius 2X2.
If I...
Ok, I’ve been around a while. For the first time I used RV antifreeze on my 2015 Cherokee. Used to run in the air pressure group, but, you guys convinced me to go with the antifreeze.
So, I learned earlier this year from youse, there is a little button under the screen in the city water port...
What if anything do you put in your fuel tank for the long winter sleep?
I have heard to make sure it is full and don’t add anything
I have heard doesn’t matter what level it is at and don’t add anything
I have heard put fuel line antifreeze in no matter what level.

I have some questions about winter use of an RV
I have never owned or slept in an RV, but today, I purchased a 2010 Forest River Flagstaff Classic Super Lite Model 831KRSS.
This unit will stay next to my house with a water supply and 120VAC within a few feet. It will be used by my...
Is it ok to keep 2-6 volt batteries on a Battery Tender in an unheated garage over the winter in Pennsylvania? My husband always put them in our basement but after 2 knee replacements, he struggles to carry them downstairs. Our 21FBRS is stored on a storage lot without electricity. Will it...
I have been scouring the forum for great advice on how to winterize our 38’ 2015 Wildcat for living in this winter. I’ve found some great advice - heat tape, heated water line, smooth pipe instead of stink slinky - but I have more questions!
Somewhere it was mentioned that if the tanks were...
I have an idea and wonder if it makes sense. We live up by Duluth Minnesota and winter starts up here around the middle of October (earlier this year). When we retire we would still like to use our fiver in Jan and Feb. So we were thinking of "storing" the camper somewhere further south for the...
