Winterizing an RV

 

Winterizing an RV is an important step in preparing your recreational vehicle for the cold winter months. By taking the time to properly winterize your RV, you can prevent costly damage and ensure that your RV is ready to go when the weather warms up.

The first step in winterizing an RV is to make sure that all of the water is drained from the RV. This includes draining the fresh water tank, grey water tank, and black water tank. You should also drain the hot water heater and any other water lines or fixtures that may contain water.

Once all of the water has been drained, you should add RV antifreeze to the fresh water tank, grey water tank, and black water tank. This will help to protect your RV's plumbing from freezing and bursting during the winter months.

Next, you should disconnect the RV's battery and store it in a warm and dry place. This will help to ensure that the battery is in good working condition when you are ready to use the RV again.

Finally, you should cover the RV with a quality RV cover. This will help to protect the RV's exterior from the elements, including snow, ice, and wind. Make sure to properly secure the cover to the RV to ensure that it stays in place throughout the winter.

By following these simple steps, you can winterize your RV and protect it from damage during the cold winter months. Remember to check on your RV periodically throughout the winter to ensure that everything is in good working order.
