Ten gallons of FDA approved RV antifreeze will be required to winterize the
Motorhome.

locations) attach the "out" side of the pump to the waterline on the
outlet side of the motorhomes water pump, or winterizing
connection if so equipped. The "in" side of the winterizing pump
should have a hose attached and placed into the antifreeze source.

gallons of FDA approved RV anti-freeze into the fresh water tank.
The valve between water pump and fresh water tank must be in the
open position for this method.
