water pump) or CITY WATER (which uses pressurized water) to send water through
the plumbing system. The water heater will no longer be bypassed with these settings.
Winterizing the Plumbing System
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the
plumbing system must be winterized with RV antifreeze. Repairs due to
freezing are not covered under the terms of the Towable Limited Warranty.
Preparing your recreation vehicle for colder weather or storage is very important for most
states and Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water
heater to freeze. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it
will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing
are not covered by warranty.
If you choose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the fol-
lowing information before starting. It may be easier to winterize the RV with the aid of a
second person.
