cure-all, and ventilation and moisture reduction continue to be important,
operation of a dehumidifier will reduce the amount of outside air needed for ven-
tilation.
• Reduce moisture released inside motor home. Run range vent fan when cook-
ing and bath vent fan (or open bath vent) when bathing to reduce water vapor.
Avoid making steam from excessive boiling or use of hot water.
• Do not heat motor home interior with range or oven. Heating with the range or
oven increases the risk of toxic fumes and oxygen depletion. Also, open flames
add moisture to interior air, increasing condensation.
• In very cold weather, leave cabinet and closet doors partially open to warm and
ventilate interior of storage compartments. Air flow will warm exterior wall sur-
face reducing or eliminating condensation and preventing possible ice formation.
Winterizing
To use air pressure to winterize your motor home you will have to have access to
an air compressor and adapter to connect air line to your water system. Adapters can
be found at any RV supply store. You should not exceed 40 pounds p.s.i. when hooked
to water lines. Higher
pressures will damage
lines.
1. Drain fresh
water tank by opening
drain valve located in
exterior service com-
partment.
2. Open low-
point drains. Turn
knobs to open drains.
Opening low point
drains clear water out
of hot and cold water
lines.
