Calendar Event: Winterizing Newbie question Posted: 25 Sep 2013 at 8:42am |
Thanks. I do appreciate all this help. I'm sure you pros are thinking that this is not rocket science. Lol. Just want to make sure there is no trick to all this that I am missing.
Thanks again.

BTW, once under there.. a person could cut that long panel, and then add a couple screws, so NEXT time you have to go under there, (say, in the spring) you only have to remove the part of the panel directly over the valves..

Thanks. I just removed the panel in the back baggage compartment and i can reach the three valves on the water heater from there. Now if I wanted to pump antifreeze thru the pump, how do I access the pump?

Guessing the layout is the same from 177 to 178.. remove the lowest left hand panel below the sink, should find the pump under there.

Also, all the winterizing info says to open two low something caps under the trailer. Do rpods have those and where underneath? I cant see any.

"low point drains" Look along the bottom edge of your trailer, on the slide itself I think, and you should see a sticker that says... "low point drains".. sort of behind there and under the trailer.. also there is a cap on the bottom of the fresh water holding tank that needs to be openedand drained.

Found sticker behind the slide. Crawled all around and the only drain plug is the one on the fresh water tank...right behind the sticker. Could this be right? There are definately no other drain plugs unless they were covered with all that foamy looking stuff.

You don'thave to go under the trailer, they should be about even with kitchen sink, maybe a bit forward, on yhe bottom of the camper, but outside the frame rail..
