    Winter Storage

    We have a new to us 2013 Journey 36M. In the past when I have parked our motorhome over the winter I had left it hooked to shore power in to maintain the batteries. Several places in the owners manual it says to not leave it plugged in. I know a well charged battery will not freeze...

    Question about winterizing

    Hi everyone, I’m working on Winterizing my 04 Winnebago Adventurer 35U. I’ve drained all the fresh water using the drain line valve in the basement compartment closest to the entry door and I’ve set valves to divert and to bypass the water heater. I’ve operated the outdoor shower and all...

    Winter Texas destination?

    We do not do snowbird lifestyle, but would like to try a two week excursion south this winter. Living in Kansas, the closest route to winter warm seems to be straight south through Texas. Thinking of stopping in Galveston for a base camp and taking day trips to Corpus Christi, south padre, etc...

    Solaire 205ss, winterizing help

    I don't have a Owners manual and the one I did find online is not helpful. What steps do I need to take to winterize my 2022 205ss? 1) How do I bypass the water heater? Where is that sucker cause I don't see any access panels around where it is. 2) where is the water pump to find the hose and...

    Winter question

    will it hurt to leave camper plugged in all winter? It does have a solar panel on the roof. I think it is only 50 watt. I could just turn the battery disconnect off and would let sit. Will that work? I

    Water Pump / Winterizing

    Opinions, please...just got ready to winterize F.R. Flagstaff 832ikbs and proceeded as I have for 6 years. Turned all the by-pass valves, drained water heater, etc. This time, when I hooked up my outside hose between the Anti-freeze intake and the bucket of anti-freeze and turned pump on, when...

    2022 Della Terra 261rb Enclosed & Heated Underbelly (No need to Winterize?)

    New to the RV world and realizing there is no manual with your RV, just discovered our RV has an enclosed & heated underbelly. Am I safe in assuming I don't need to winterize if it's plugged into our 30 amp connection at our home with the heat on in freezing weather?

    Yet another winterize question

    With the 2022 model line putting solar panels on all the Montana and HC's, do you still need to pull the batteries, or would the trickle effect of the solar be sufficient?

    Winter Storage Cover Recommendations

    I’ve got to store my FR3 outside this winter (Central Ohio, snow, sleet, +40 to -10 degrees) and I’m finding that selecting a winter storage cover is like buying snake oil at a county fair….everyone’s cover is best and their technology is superior. I’m looking for recommendations from those...

    Another Newb Winterizing Question

    I followed a 19FD owner video on how to winterize. Just wondering about something once the lines are all full of anti-freeze. Since the pump is used to pressurize the system and all hot cold valves are bled and closed, the lines remain pressurized. Is it good to leave these lines...

    Water pump after dewinterizing? Guess I'll stay home this weekend

    2022 Epro FD19: I practiced winterizing using compressed air a couple weeks ago. Was going to slip away this weekend, but now it seems the pump will not pull water from the fresh water tank. Valves in correct position, filled the fresh tank, turn on the pump and it just runs, no water going...

    Winter Camping 2004 Itasca Sunrise 30W

    Would it be necessary to add heat in the water bay during camping if it is in the 20s at night? Is the area where the water lines run heated by the propane heater, or can I place an small oil heater in the water bay just to warm the underbelly? Thank you.

    Winterizing Question - Pump not building pressure

    Hi all - I was winterizing my new-to-me Bullet over the weekend. I used the same method that I did on my previous rig. Blew out the lines then hooked a garden hose up to the water pump inlet to suck in antifreeze. My previous rig would suck in the antifreeze via the pump, the pump would build...

    The ever-popular winterization questions

    Hi all, (Yes, I searched the forum and the Official FB group AND the manual first AND the winterization list from Forest River.) We prefer winterizing by using an air compressor and blowing all of the lines dry, instead of pouring pink stuff in and pumping it through the lines. We do still...

    Winterizing our RV

    We have a 2018 27 ft.. Bullet Premier and have it winterized and dewinterized every year by RV dealers. I have thought about doing the procedures myself, but my Wife thinks it's better to have a dealer do it, because if something goes wrong it is up to them to fix it. Also, I am hesitant about...

    I just purchased this unit and we are in love so far. Looking to get it ready for winter as we will be using the unit this winter. I was told it has heated tanks and I have found that means that the bays are heated by the furnace, which is awesome. But looking at the setup, the bays are not...
