Winterizing Sport Utility Trailer; Method 1 - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

WINTERIZING SPORT UTILITY TRAILER

Preparing your recreation vehicle for winter is very important for most states and Canada. Failure to
prepare the coach will cause supply lines and water heater to freeze causing breakage. Repairs due
to freezing are not to be covered under the terms of your Jayco Limited Warranty.
Please keep in mind that your towable RV was not designed for use during sub-freezing weather.
There is no commodity or product that can be added to the fresh water systems to ensure freeze
protection while the system is in use, other than RV antifreeze. Do not drink water that contains
antifreeze. This includes non-toxic RV antifreeze.
