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.
To thoroughly sanitize the fresh water tank, the unit should
be driven around for a short while allowing the solution to splash the
sides and top of the fresh water tank.
