10. Replace the protective cap onto the end of the
antifreeze siphon tube to keep out insects and
debris when not in use.
Drain Appliances
11. At this time, if your coach is equipped with a
refrigerator ice maker, dishwasher, or washer/
dryer, the waterlines for these appliances must
also be drained. (See "Winterizing Optional
Appliances" at the end of this section).
Fill Drainage System P-Traps
12. Pour about one cup of RV antifreeze down
each drain for the galley sink, lavatory sink,
and shower/tub. This fills the drain trap pipes
to prevent holding tank odors from entering
the coach during storage.
Dump and Clean Holding Tanks
13. Completely drain the sewage and waste water
holding tanks at an approved waste disposal
site. Drain the sewage tank first so the
following waste water can rinse any waste
solids from the sewage drain outlet and sewer
hose.
14. Flush the sewage tank using the Black Waste
Tank Flush Inlet.
15. Close dump valves and refit the dust cap onto
the drain outlet.
This will inhibit rust formation on valve shafts
and prevent entry and contamination by
airborne debris, insects, and rodents.
Your drainage and fresh water systems are
now winterized.
See instructions for removal from storage in
Section 11 - Maintenance and Storage.
