Carbon 297 ?

Hello guys new owner of 5th wheel toy hauler .i bought a carbon 297 back in July and have been staying in it since then . I have a few questions 1 what are white pipes under the sink in the bathroom is it a vacuum breaker of some sort they just run in and are connected together ? Also when using the winterize option do you just connect a hose to that part and turn on the pump to pump the anti freeze though the piping ? I bought his from Lloyd bridges rv in Michigan and had the deliver to Pennsylvania and basically after they received my money they wanted nothing to do with me. Never buy from them again thanks

So the white pipes are for black water flush ? Looks like 1 line comes in with a black connector and then goes out ? Let me say that the walk through was less than desirable and I'm basically on my own unless I call keystone

Try using the forum's search feature to find out information on winterizing your RV. Just type in "winterizing" in the search box or use Google to find out about RV winterizing. There is a ton of information already posted on the forum.

You should first find the pump and look for what is called a winterizing kit or some other fixture that simplifies hooking up the lines and preparing them for either RV antifreeze. The location of the hot water bypass valve also has to be determined.

Without knowing where these two items are, you won't get far when you start to winterize.

You said you are living in your RV ...... does that mean you will be staying in it over the winter?

Prevent back flow from black tank to fresh water (city water)
