DRAIN VALVES
To completely winterize your travel trailer for storage follow this procedure to drain the
water system:
1. Be sure the travel trailer is level. Use blocks or stabilizing jacks.
2. Be sure your toilet waste holding tank has been drained and fl ushed clean with soapy
water.
3. Turn the water pump switch to the OFF position.
4. Open all faucets, including the water heater, and leave them open. After open-
ing the hot and cold water faucets, open the drain valves on the HOT and COLD
water pipes. These valves are located under interior cabinets at fl oor level and drain
through the fl oor. (See Figure 32) Note: Some models may have capped lines rather
than valves.
5. Drain all water from the tank by opening the drain on the side of the trailer.
6. Pour about a cup of NONTOXIC antifreeze in each drain, including the toilet, to
prevent freezing.
NOTE: YOUR ANTIFREEZE SOLUTION MUST BE EITHER GLYCERIN
BASED OR PROPYLENE GLYCOL BASED (HAVING 30% OR LESS PRO-
PYLENE GLYCOL). USE OF ANOTHER SOLUTION OF ANTIFREEZE
WOULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
7. Be sure all water is drained from the toilet; check and follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
8. Close all windows, vents, and doors.
9. Clean the refrigerator and block the door open.
10. Check to see that the Propane valves are shut off at the tanks.
