How to Winterize Your RV in 6 Steps

When temperatures drop below freezing, any water left in your RV's plumbing can expand and cause costly damage. Winterizing takes an afternoon and saves a lot of headaches in spring.

1. Drain the fresh, gray and black tanks, then flush the black tank.
2. Drain the water heater. Turn it off first and let it cool.
3. Bypass the water heater so you don't waste antifreeze filling it.
4. Pump RV-safe antifreeze through the lines until pink fluid runs from every faucet, shower and toilet.
5. Pour a cup of antifreeze into each drain to protect the P-traps.
6. Remove or maintain batteries, close the vents and cover the roof if storing outside.
