New to 5th Wheels

[aehjr]

Hello Everyone,
I joined the forum back in 2014 when we bought a Fusion 300 toyhauler. We just traded that in on a Fusion 369 5th wheel. Looking forward to our first camping trip in the new trailer in a week or so.

Thank you, everyone. I already have a question about the new rig regarding winterization. It is not time yet but cold temps come early in the high country so I will need to winterize around the end of the month/ early September. The Fuzion 300 was easy. Put antifreeze in the fresh water tank, turn on the water pump and flush the lines.

The 369 has a panel with various valves and a diagram for the proper valve position for various actions. There is also a hose inlet for winterization. Where does that line route to/ connect to? Also, I assume I need to put antifreeze in the fresh water tank and run the pump to ensure it is protected from freezing.

Thanks,
Alden

Welcome back. I winterize via the pump. Our unit has a 4 way selector valve - winterize will draw water from a jug via a hose connected to the city water connection.. Don't forget to drain and bypass the hot water heater. Ours has a bypass selector for the HW heater.
