Well it is that time. Have to winterize the motor-home for the winter. We bought our kit and today we have to install it.

1) first thing we have to do is drain the black water, grey water, and fresh water from the motor-home

2) then we drain all remaining water from hot water heater and water tank drain valves

3) then we have to install the bypass valves and lines – these come in the kit

4) then we buy some NON-TOXIC antifreeze from the local motor-home supply store – for our motor-home (24 feet) we need three gallons.

5) we then put our white plastic suction line into the non-toxic antifreeze supply bucket (containers) and turn on the pump.

6) as the pump is running we open all taps, showers, and we flush the toilet 3-4 times to make sure it has non-toxic antifreeze on all the seals and in the lines

7) we keep an eye on the non-toxic antifreeze and change the containers out before they empty which will cause the pump cavitation – when all of the non-toxic antifreeze is sucked into the motor-home system, we are done. Turn off the pump (BEFORE cavitation starts)

pour the remaining dribbles of non-toxic antifreeze down the sink drains

9) make sure you open your fridge and freezer doors – make sure there is no-where for moisture to get in your motor-home or RV
