This is a green tip from Ecolivingexperts.com that I’d like to share with you, that helps you about techniques and tricks to Winterizing an RV – it is important if you want to keep everything in good working order. There are also a few things you can do to make sure that the process is as eco-friendly as possible. It all boils down to making sure that you use non-toxic chemicals and methods wherever possible.
What You Need in “Winterizing an RV”
When you get started with the RV winterization process, there is a short list of items you will need:
- Anti-freeze that’s listed as non-toxic
- A bypass kit for the water heater (sometimes this is already installed on the RV)
- A converter kit for the water pump
- Concrete blocks
- Basic hand tools
Winterizing the RVs Water System
The most important part of winterizing an RV is making sure that the water system is flushed out and prepared properly.
- Start by draining the tank that holds your fresh water, and then drain the back holding tanks
- Drain the water heater by pulling out the plug and opening the pressure valve
- Open all the faucets, including the shower and toilet valve
- Open the low point drain lines for both the hot and cold water
- After everything has finished draining, remember to put the plugs back in and close up each faucet
- Next you need to bypass the water heater so that when you put the anti-freeze in, it won’t fill up with it
- Use the water pump converter or just a basic tube placed in a bucket of anti-freeze
- Pressurize the water system and turn the water pump on. Turn the hot and cold faucets on until you see anti-freeze coming out of them
- Flush the toilet until you see anti-freeze
- At the water inlet, use a screwdriver to press on the valve until anti-freeze comes out
- Turn off all the faucets and dump a cup of anti-freeze down all the drains and the toilet
