10. Close the hot water lines and repeat with the cold water lines on the faucets. Turn water
pump OFF when nished.
11. Let the solution remain in the system for at least four hours when disinfecting with 50
PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100 PPM chlorine
concentration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour.
12. After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system.
13. Fill the fresh water system using clean (potable) water until completely full. Put water
in the gravity ll inlet on the outside of the RV.
14. Then, drain and rell the fresh water system one more.
If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, ush the water system with a solution consisting of
one-quart vinegar to ve gallons of clean water. Re-ush as necessary. The tank (storage
type) water heater be bypassed. The vinegar solution should be kept out of the water
heater as it may damage it.
Preparing your recreation vehicle for colder weather or storage is very important for most
states and Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water
heater to freeze. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it
will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing
are not covered by warranty.
If you chose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the follow-
ing information before starting.
Contact customer service or your dealer for questions about this process. It may be easier to
winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
For complete fresh water tank sanitization, driving your unit
around for a short distance will allow the sanitizing solution to splash
around all sides of the tank.
The winterization process may vary slightly due to different
plumbing congurations between models.
Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer)
must be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for
possible additional information or contact your Dealer or Customer
Service for assistance.
