How To Winterize Your RV the RV Parts Nation Way

First step is to disconnect your RV from any outside water sources, and drain all water tanks as even the most miniscule of water droplets can cause irreversible damage. Then next, is to drain all water pipes - This can be done with the help of an air compressor to ensure all the water is expelled out of the lines. Next, open and empty all drain pipes. A water pump may be used to aid in this function. Once all lines and systems are drained, close all drains and faucets and proceed to bypass the water heater. Install a valve onto a tube on the water pump to enable you to draw antifreeze from the bottle and pump it through the water lines. Open each faucet to ensure the antifreeze comes out, turn off the water pump and make sure all the pressure is released before closing each faucet.

Make sure the internal parts of your RV aren’t the only parts that you tend to; tires can develop flat spots, and raising your rig eases the thousand of pounds of pressure that could result in a blow out.

If you plan on using stabilizing jacks, use wooden blocks to stop your jacks from sticking to your storage pad. Add a fuel stabilizer to your engine, letting your engine stay idle is you incorporate this additive. Make sure that your radiator contains antifreeze. Fluid levels in you batteries should be topped off(with the aid of safety gear) and be fully charged.

Disconnect your rig from shore power and protect its main circuit breaker by removing batteries for any and all devices. Refer to your RV’s instruction manual for ways in which you can store the backup generator. Propane tanks should be removed and stored in a separate location. For the exterior of your RV, make sure that seals are properly re-caulked and exterior surfaces, such as awnings and surfaces are moisture controlled.
