I have a Jayco Northpoint 340 CKTS 2022. This is my first winter in it. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do. It’s 18°tonight. Do I turn on the tank heaters? Do I let my water drip overnight?

To winterize a 2021 Jayco North Point 340 CKTS when temperatures drop to 18°F:

1. Clear Water Lines: Attach a blowout plug to the water inlet on the utility center panel and connect an air hose. Set the air compressor to a maximum of 30 PSI and blow air into the utility center for 5–10 minutes to clear water from the lines.

2. Drain Water Heater: Turn off the air supply, remove the air hose and blowout plug, then close the low point drain. Replace the water heater drain plug if it’s a storage water heater. If it’s a tankless water heater, ensure the lines are purged of water.

3. Winterize Appliances: Refer to the owner’s manual for each appliance to ensure they are properly winterized, as methods may vary.

4. Protect Drain P-Traps: Pour one cup of RV antifreeze into all drain P-traps (sinks and bathtub).

5. Winterize Black Tank Flush:
- Connect a blowout plug to the Black Tank Flush inlet.
- Attach an air hose to the blowout plug and set the compressor to a maximum of 30 PSI.
- Ensure the black tank is emptied before proceeding.

These steps help prevent freezing damage to the RV's water system.
