Winterizing

[Jenny Darlington]

I’m a fairly new RV owner and was wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me with the process. Is it necessary to blowout the lines as I do not have an air-blower. The fresh water, black and gray are all drained. I poured a little anti-freeze down the sink drains and in toilet until I can do it properly. (Days are quite warm here still). I haven’t used the shower, so left that alone. A friend with an RV did it for me last year, but accidentally had the anti-freeze go into the fresh water tank. Had a heck of a time getting it all out as everytime I turned on water, I got pink bubbles. Had to drain and refill fresh water a dozen times to get rid of it.
What setting do I put it on to winterize?
Do I leave the pump on or off during?
Do I siphon anti-freeze thro the fresh water outlet (on the left) or the one used to flush (on the right)? Sorry, but motorhome at different location, so cannot see it.
May have to attach photos later. Thanks for any input you may have.

I think the details depend on what model you have. But here's a document I put together on how I do my 31FK

Thanks so much. Can you send as a pdf?
I thought it was sufficient to run the taps until no water and then drain the black and gray tanks. I don’t seem to have low point drains that I know of on the Jayco Melbourne 26A.

Jenny - that download should come down as a PDF. But if you want to, send your email to me in a private message and I'll email you the PDF.

Came in Dropbox and couldn’t save as a pdf for some reason. Not sure how to send to private email.

I was able to save it to iBooks. Thanks so much. I don’t know where the low-point drains are for my 2014 Jayco Melbourne 26A. Jayco didn’t make it easy.
