First time de-winterizing my 2024 Swift 20T.
1.Plan on connecting city hose / set to "City Fixtures" turn on water and proceed to open each faucet/toilet/shower. Run each till RV antifreeze is out of system.
2. Then turn to "City Fill" and put a few gallons of water in water tank. Turn off/unhook hose
3. Switch to "normal" and turn pump on and open a faucet till runs clear.
4. Un bypass hot water heater.
Thinking that should do it ? Forgetting anything?
I appreciate any advise.
 
Looks exactly as I do it. One small change is that I use the fill port under the bed for step 2 to add water to the tank. No need to chance pushing any antifreeze into the tank by using city fill (not sure where it would be, but since we use the pump for antifreeze, I suspect city fixtures doesn't clean out everything).
 
Thanks! I would think "city fill" would bypass pump and put water directly in storage tank.
Do you open any low point drains at any point? Where do you dump the RV antifreeze ? Is it safe if runs on ground?
 
Good catch. Yes, I do open the low points to get that last bit out of there. I do let the little bit out to the ground, assuming that it's OK as it was in a drinking system. I then run to my local rv dealers dump station to let everything out of the tanks after cleaning. Ready for the season!
