Using Nontoxic Antifreeze; De-Winterization - Fleetwood Discovery Owner's Manual

12. If applicable winterize
the washer-dryer
(see washer-dryer
"Winterize"). Winterize
the Aqua Hot domestic
water loop (see Aqua Hot
"Winterize" and OEM
manual).
13. Use one (1) gallon of
FDA approved RV
antifreeze to protect
various water drain lines
in the motorhome. Pour
one pint into both the
kitchen and bath shower
drains. Pour two pints
into the bath sink drain.
This will protect the
P-Traps, with some of the
antifreeze going into grey
tank to protect the drain
valve.
14. Open the valve on the
toilet. Pour another three
pints into the toilet,
letting the antifreeze run
into the black tank to
protect the drain valve.
Use a soft cloth to wipe
out the sinks, shower and
toilet (after the antifreeze
is poured in) to protect
the surfaces from stains.
Pour the last pint into the
washer-dryer drain.
WARNING:
Clean up antifreeze spills
immediately to prevent
permanent staining.
