Sad day..........winterized today

Temperature is getting lower in Western WA (below 30 last night) so I winterized our new Montana 3625 today. Was pretty easy. Drained the water heater. Opened the low point drains. Turned the bypass switch and the winterizing switch. Hooked up a hose to the inlet, turned on the water pump and started opening faucets until the antifreeze came out. Even did the washer and dryer faucets. Outside faucet too.

The only downside is waiting a few months to go out again.

Keystone made it very easy to winterize the trailer.

Western Washington (State), I have winterized several time in a winter! There way too many nice weekends to quit for the winter! Once you have done it you can get it done in no time, at about $4 a gallon for antifreeze, just like driving another 10 or 15 miles.
Heck even the bad weekends can be fun!

This was a couple years ago coming home from a trip to the coast, haven't have the new rig out in the snow yet.
