De-winterizing your Motorhome Water System usually comes around as a task in the spring time. This simple process of de-winterization is basically the removing all traces of the RV antifreeze that (you hopefully) used to protect your water system (so you didn’t crack your pipes or water heater!).
Here are the quick simple steps:
1. Put several gallons of water into the fresh water tank.
2. Turn on the on-board water pump, and open a cold water tap.
3. Allow the water to flow for several minutes.
4. Connect the water hose to your city water supply inlet. Turn on the supply.
5. Open all taps one by one and allow the water to flow for several minutes.
6. Flush the toilet several times.
7. Now open the water heater bypass and fill the water heater with fresh water.
(You may want to allow a few gallons to flow through the water heater, then let it drain completely before re-installing the water heater drain plug)
8. Run water through all the hot water faucets.
That’s it! Pretty simple and painless, and you saved your RV Water System from damage and costly repairs.
