Dewinterize 2020 Seneca

Picked up the Seneca from having some warranty repairs done. They’ve had it for a while. They winterized the rig since they had it during the cold weather. He said they would have it dewinterized before picking it up. Well it wasn’t done. Looking at the manual there doesn’t seem to be a step by step for the Seneca. Does anyone have a step by step to dewinterize? I want to make sure it is done correctly. Thanks all.

My process
Remove filter housing and discard antifreeze. Replace housing
Set water to city
Turn supply on and run water till low points are clear , close low points and start opening taps. First the outside faucet I then rinse out the ice maker since I am out side. I then do the various house fixtures. Ending with a rinse cycle on the washer dryer
Once that is completed I set unit to power fill the tank and with the fresh water tank drain open I run a series of rinses to the tank. At this point every thing should be rinsed out. Depending on when it was last completed I then sanitize the system and redo the complete process.

Thanks for the info! What about the hot water heater? The plug is taken out. Do I put that in first before I begin the process?

I have the Trina unit that I have added a bypass to so I don’t have to worry about the plug. But I would assume you would install that prior to starting the process

Dewinterize is generic across the board. Not brand specific. Check youtube for a trailer, 5th wheel or MH. It's about as close as your gonna get.

Yes, replace the plug and place the bypass valves IN USE.
