Without Holding Tanks - Jayco COVE 2002 Owner's Manual

METHOD 2
This method utilizes a water heater bypass kit, available in most trailers, to avoid filling the entire
water heater with antifreeze.
1. Make sure all holding tanks are empty.
2. Turn off the pump.
3. Close valves A, B and D. Open valves E and C.
4. Drain the water heater and fresh water tank. (Consult the water heater owner's manual for
details.)
5. Put the hose from valve E into a jug of NON-TOXIC RV antifreeze. You will need more
than one gallon of antifreeze.
6. Turn on the pump and open each faucet until the antifreeze flows through. Do not forget to
run the antifreeze through the toilet.
7. Pour at least one cup of antifreeze into each drain to protect the P-traps.
8. Close valve E.
9. Before using the water system again, drain and flush the water system. Close valve C and
open valves D, A, and B. Sanitize and flush the whole system. It is now ready for use.
10. For trailers with an optional residential toilet, pour antifreeze in the bowl after the water has
been removed.
Fig. 4-16
To winterize: Valves A, B, and D are closed; E and C are open.
