Looking for help with winterization

[Pugfug]

Hello all

This year we've decided to winterize our Keystone 2018 Outback 270urs ourselves, but we've never done it before. I've been over pretty much every square inch of the trailer, but I was wondering if anyone else had tips or perhaps a link to a good how too video. I just want to make sure i don't miss anything....winter is long here in Canada...TIA.

Pete's RV has a good series on videos on YouTube on winterization:

Your manual might have a procedure. Mine does. I use the compressed air method with antifreeze down the drains. Spend extra time getting water out of the toilet valve. I also take off the line on the pump (it's a quick release connector) and mop up that water with a paper towel. No problems yet.

Do you have reasonable access to your water pump? And diverter valve on water heater?

If you're at it, add a winterization kit to your water pump. Makes life easier.

I use one of those. Makes winterizing pretty simple. Mine was a very tight fit in the box where the water pump was, but worked. Make sure you put the non-permanent components in a box, and then remember where you put it. Memory a little stressed after a whole year goes by. Grrrrrrr.

^x2 on the memory! For me it's a result of too many summer's . I've gotten into the habit of taking a pic on the phone of the position of the valves before moving them. Then come spring I know how it should go.

Just put the parts in a zip lock bag and zip tie it to a pipe by the pump. No memory needed.
