It took me about 10 min to de-winterize. Turned valves on hot water heater,put plug in and hooked up city water. Once I got hot water out of taps, all was good. Open all water valves in camper, checked for leaks while running. Kept water in grey tank till I used it last weekend. Going on 2nd outing of season next weekend.

No worries. One of the purposes of this forum is to learn and then educate others what we have learned from asking questions and from actual experiences.

I de-winterized a couple of days ago. I moved my electric heaters to the basement. When I return to my home base on 3-31 I will put them in my garage until fall.
De-winterizing done - 5 minutes.

Went camping the last two weekends so I have de-winterized and winterized twice each. Will continue to store her winterized until May. Not out of the woods for hard freezes here in Colorado just yet.

Hanging in there until early April before de-winterizing. Lots of other things to do what with Easter coming up!

The pink stuff is indeed non-toxic, but I've found it to be a terrific weed killer. If you're parked on your lawn, or over something you want to keep growing, Dump in a bucket, then put it where you want. Our stone driveway gets the drainings for weed control.

I just flush the lines right into my grey/black tanks, then into the sewer at the campground.

Unseasonably cold weather coming in this weekend has put any dewinterization plans on hold yet again. There's always next weekend...maybe.

I don't think we will have another freeze hard enough to hurt the water lines at this point but I am going to wait another week or two just to be sure. But hey at least I have it pulled out, uncovered and cleaned up So I can at least look at it.

We are finally supposed to be in the 70's this weekend and no cold weather in the foreseeable future. I believe it's time!!

Ours is done. Even camped in it over Easter. Found a leaking strainer on the suction side of the pump. Replaced it and all is well. It was so nice just spending time in the woods by the lake.

Dewinterized about 3 weeks ago, just got back from short trip to Pigeon Forge. Everything working as it should. Ready to hit the road again after spring break.

Over two feet of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday have worked to postpone our dewinterizing. Only kidding, usually don't do so until April or early May.
