Winterizing RedHawk

[FrenchieM]

Can someone direct me to detailed instructions on how to winterize my 2017 RedHawk. Do I need to remove the filter element?

Remove the filter.
There are many threads within the forums regarding winterizing if you search.
Your owners manual should have specific instructions for your model.

It'll help if you post the model Redhawk you have. There will be lots of general instructions out there. Each model often has it's own quirks. Nothing you can't figure out, but it helps to have a chat with someone who owns that same coach.

I did my Greyhawk and posted my steps here a few weeks ago.

A couple of "ah ha" moments for me, were:
- yes, remove the water filter
- no, don't close the valves that isolate the filter
- yes, flip the inlet screen or the pump won't suck the antifreeze up
- took me about 2 gallons (I could do the old RV with a gallon)

My model is a 26X1

Seems a bit late to be winterizing but here you go (I have only winterized once)
Inline filter (depends on model I fear) Mine (redhawk 22J) is in bedroom closet
The attachment is of the water heater and those valves appear to be in by-pass mode. Handle points to flow of water.
I'm not sure there are by-passes to filter. I was thinking I would like one on mine rig

Inlet screen is in the outside fresh water fill. I didn't need to do any thing to suck antifreeze

Thx for the update and the help
I was able to find the water filter. It says in the manual that it's in the basement. however, I found it in a panel behind the unit water inlet panel accessible from the storage area in the botttom rear of the unit.
The water filter was NOT installed and found it in the cabinet in the kitchen.
--Glad I checked--

I was able to get the system to suck in the bleach mixture, and then get things all put back together.

found the "water heater bypass valves" , there are 3 of them under the sink in the kitchen behind a screwed in panel.

Thx for everyone's help.
