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.
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 or the water heater to
freeze. Refer to the Uni-Dock Utility System section for setting details.
Use ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE in your fresh water system for freeze protection. No other
product or commodity should be used.
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
covered under the terms of the Towable Limited Warranty.
NOTE: The water heater must be drained to prevent damage
from freezing. It is recommended the water heater be drained and
bypassed during the winterization process particularly if introducing
RV antifreeze into the plumbing system. Antifreeze should be kept
out of the water heater.
There are two methods of winterizing your recreation vehicle based upon your model. Please
read, and understand the following instructions before beginning.
Air Pressure Method:
This method will utilize an air hose to blow excess water from the water lines. If
temperatures will fall below 32°F (0°C) the air pressure method alone is not adequate to
protect the water lines from freezing. Antifreeze must be used if temperatures will fall
below 32°F (0°C).
