Winterizing trouble on 2016 precept

[Only1kdunn]

I have a story but no time right now. I live in Alaska but stuck in Arkansas. The weather has gone south and snow arrived b4 I could get the unit into a shop. I am going to run out of propane, no way to fill it and I can't get the antifreeze to prime. I have a water control bay, two inlets, 1 fresh water the other is sanitize/ winterize. I have removed the water filter reopened those valves and have had no success. Any ideas? I just got this unit

Turn the screen around on the water inlet. It needs to depress the little nub on the check valve.

Can you just blow out the lines? Do you have a blowout plug and compressor?

Is that on the bottom water connection at the panel? Sanitation/winterize hose connection or the top connection for potable water? Asking all the stupid ?'s I can think of...

Who are you asking? If you hit the quote button, you're addressing that person.

I may be too late, the propane is gone, the temp is going to hit zero it's already gotten to 6°. I guess I will have my work cut out for me this summer.

Sorry for your troubles. That's sucks. I think a lot of people got caught by surprise with this storm. I'm not even sure I winterized our 355mbqs correctly. Gonna find out next month, lol.

The screen where you would attach a hose to to fill with water or antifreeze. The other water inlet is to spray your black tank.
Open the 4 drain valves in your wet bay with all your faucets OPEN so the most water will leak out and disconnect the water inlet to your ice maker and open that valve to. The water draining out at the valves will siphon most of the water out of your line if faucets are open and depress the toilet flusher as well.

Also, put RV antifreeze in your p-traps drain all the water you can out of you black tank, pour antifreeze down your toilet so it will trickle into the macerator.

Thanks for all help. I got caught flat footed as I was supposed to have flown home on the 12th. The Unit was being delivered to the shop on the 15th by my B.I.L. but when my flight snafu caught me that put me be hind the 8 ball.
