| 5/17/2007 - Update on how
these steps worked for me. I ended up having to do a quick
de-winterize in February. I decided to head to Nevada to a horse
show and because I got my RV to stay in, I just had to use it.
The
only mistake I made was in not knowing where all the water outlets
were.
Under the sink were two drains...one for hot and one for cold.
They had been left open by the shop that winterized it for me. When I
went to fill the fresh water tank up, water gushed out under the
sink. I panicked for a minute, but pulled out all the junk under the
sink, found the little black push/pull levers and pushed them
closed.
Another interesting tidbit to note is that the Water Pump
had NOT been hooked back up to the system with any care.
To
Winterize, they had to hook up an extension to get the antifreeze in
the plumbing. So, when I turned the pump on, water leaked pretty
heavily out it.
We were watching for it. Turned off the pump and
redid the hoses tighter. I used my husband for this task since he is
far stronger than I. Off to Nevada I went, In the snow.
Everything
worked marvelously. |
