INTERIZING THE
Preparing your RV 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. No commodity or product should be
added to the fresh water system to ensure
freeze protection other than RV antifreeze.
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and
windshield washer antifreeze (methanol)
are poisonous. Never use these products
in your fresh water system. These products
are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.
The RV should be winterized at the end of the
camping season or when the RV will be
exposed to temperatures that will fall at or
below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are
not warrantable. It may be easier to winterize
the RV with another person to assist you.
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
plumbing system.
2. Bypass the water filter cartridge.
3. Bypass the icemaker.
4. Bypass the washer/dryer.
5. Make sure both water heater (12-volt and
120-volt) control switches are OFF.
6. Turn the "water heater bypass valves" to
the BYPASS position.

7. The low point drains must be closed for
the RV antifreeze to siphon through the
lines.
8. Open the "fresh water tank bypass valve."
9. Place the free end of the clear hose in the
container of RV antifreeze solution (this
quantity should be enough to winterize the
RV); and open the "winterization valve".
10. Turn the water pump ON.
If the water pump fails to self-prime,
temporarily open the low point drains.
Close the low point drains as soon as the
water pump primes (RV antifreeze will
begin draining out) and before continuing
to the next step.
11. Open the hot water line on all the faucets
(kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside
shower) until RV antifreeze begins to flow
continuously.
12. Close the faucet hot water lines and
repeat with the cold water lines on all the
faucets. Do not forget to run RV antifreeze
through the toilet.
13. Turn the rinse cycle on long enough to get
antifreeze into the ball valve inside the
washer/dryer.
When you are done adding RV antifreeze:
14. Remove the free end of the clear hose
from the container of RV antifreeze.
15. To prevent staining,
antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub)
and toilet using a soft, dry cloth.
To reduce the chance of contamination,
prevent the free end of the clear hose from
coming into contact with the ground. If
needed, contact your RV dealer or Jayco
Customer Service for assistance.
