If you’re looking for a great way to get your RV ready for the colder months, don’t miss these incredible tips for winterizing your RV. We will help you understand the best steps to take to protect your RV once the temperatures drop.
Disconnect All Water Supply and Drain Your System
You going to want to start by disconnecting all of your water supply and draining the entire plumbing system. Don’t forget to open and drain the low points as well as drain your hot water heater.
Bypass the Water Heater and Run Antifreeze Through Plumbing
Next, you’re going to need to bypass your water heater by turning off both of the valves that lead into the water heater. Then ensure there’s no liquid remaining in the system, hook the antifreeze up to your water pump, and pump antifreeze through the system by opening all of the faucets and your shower. Lastly, add a bit of antifreeze to all of your holding tanks.
Cover Your Air Conditioners
Get up on the roof and clean your air conditioners as well. You will want to clean the filters and then cover them to prevent debris and damage.
Deep Clean Appliances
Take a little extra time to deep clean all of your appliances, including your stove, oven and refrigerator. All of these should be pristine before closing up for the winter if you don’t want to accumulate any terrible smells.
Find a Clear, Open Place to Park and Cover Your RV
Lastly, find a clear open space to park your RV. You don’t want to park underneath trees because this can lead to leaves or branches falling onto the RV over the months. If you have the opportunity to park your RV under an awning or protective garage that would be ideal.
