Blow out or RV Antifreeze Poll

[Thighmaster]

Blowout. Easy. No pink stuff in system in the spring to flush out.

Antifreeze. Still need to sanitize the lines in the spring either way.

How does the percentages of this poll total nearly 120 percent? I had to retake statistics in college but something does seem right.

It's that new math they teach now.

I always drain low point drains good, then blow out each faucet several times, then bypass water heater, after you drain it and leave the plug out, then i charge the whole system with anti freeze, run each faucet till it runs pink for 30 seconds, put original bounce sheets all over, every compartment, never had a mouse or water problem in 18 years of owning campers, we live in Mn and it gets cold here, friend had a new 5th wheel last year and just blew out the lines, last weekend he was almost crying, leaks everywhere after he filled and charged the system

We get temperatures 25 to 30 degrees f below zero so I do both, blow out the lines and use antifreeze. The pole does not give that option so that probably accounts for the 120%.
I agree with fastcat. We also take out any food supplies making sure there are no left over crumbs etc. The food critters are looking for. Regarding the downy sheets one year we had a mouse make a nest out of them in a pontoon that we had covered up and stored outside.
Temperatures finally staying above freezing here, I de-winterized, so far so good
