Dewinterizing roll call

[Greenman]

Been waiting to De-winterize our Jayco as we will be using it for a family event on The May long weekend. Went out side for my morning walk into about 6 inches of new snow.
So I walk down the block to the edge of town and up the road and find a fresh set of grizzly bear tracks heading into town! Check the other side of the road and found where he headed out. Spring must be here.

Done!! Now on to sanitizing the system!....No leaks, but notices some gaps in the leveling sealant around the ladder connections on the roof. Need to get those fixed.

[Schooner]

De-winterized and Sanitized the fresh water system yesterday. Still gets into low to mid 30's here at night but going camping tomorrow!

[JulieMike]

Finally did it. Now getting ready for 5 weeks of campground hosting starting tomorrow.

Dewinterized today to start season 7 with this Jayco. Fresh water system soaking in bleach solution as I type this. Lit stove, furnace, gas water heater, and gas frig to test. All fired right up. Will try electric options on water heater and frig later today.

A bit early for those of us well north of the Mason-Dixon line.


I'll be waiting until at least St. Patrick's day.

[StormPOD]

Done. Working thru maintenance check list and system function tests this weekend. Yamping...Yard camping...until 1st trip at end of month.

Opened her up a few weeks ago to start puttering and the furnace and oven both fired right up. Will still be a couple of weeks before I'm brave enough to get to the water system though - as mike837 said, too far north of the Mason-Dixon line for comfort

[Nukeneck]

I've been tinkering inside as well but they're predicting a wet and snowy northern Nevada in March and so far mother nature has delivered. I've broken too many a faucet on my last trailer by dewinterizing too soon or not being thorough enough. Sadly, I have to wait

[3'senough]

Man I am itchin' to get camping especially with this warm spell. Just have too much going on and waiting for mother nature to say gotcha! Waiting until April this year. Plenty of other things to tackle though, like waxing! Might have to do it 3x's this year.

[Jmooney]

72* in Colorado today, but that won't likely last long..... I'm still 4-6 weeks out I think

[ArcticFire]

I could only wish ......

It still gets to cold North of 60 to get the trailer ready.

Not yet .. its getting warmer but would still worry right now

[BCx213]

Well, now that my TT cover is all but destroyed from the wicked wind/rainstorm here the other day. I will be pulling her out of hibernation and clean her up and de-winterize either this weekend or next and go camping on the Easter long weekend....I have 4 days off. It will still be a tad cool

Blew the pink all out last week!!! Let the good times roll!!!!

[RP53]

question, first time DE winterizing, will have to do in at home and was wondering how do you get rid of the pink stuff, can I be drained directly on the ground, should I put it in a bucket and pour in the septic, will it kill the good bacteria in my septic tank ??

[RP53]

bump I need help

RV antifreeeze is non toxic so I assume its septic safe and if some got on the ground would not be a big deal either, someone correct me if I`m wrong. I`ve never seen a warning at a dump station not to dump RV antifreeze in their septic systems either.

thanks crabman, kinda ignorant here
