Welcome and congratulations from another NC RPod owner. It sounds like you are off to a great start. I take it the parrot travels with you. How does he take the travel? I also agree that it isn't too hard. If you live in the Raleigh area, I would be glad to assist with winterizing your RPod.

Welcome. +1 to mcarter, several good videos on winterization. 

But if you just bought your rPod and live in NC, why not enjoy it awhile longer before winterization? 

There is a good 6 weeks left, longer if you are near the coast, before it will be typically cold enough to have freezing problems in NC. Just getting down to 32 degrees at night won't cause a problem. I live in the SW VA mountains and I won't be winterizing mine till late November unless there some really unusually cold weather forecast.

Mark,

Just checked - did search "You Tube Winterizing a Rpod" Many vids available, again both methods.

Mark,

You Tube is the right place, at least 3 videos I know of on winterizing. Both with air pressure and antifreeze. The videos are from forum members here. I live in TN and have used air pressure for years, with a small amount of antifreeze in traps and toilet. No issues. Steps are well detailed in videos. Just remember do not overlook anything, like an outside shower or the toilet flush valve. Happy Camping.

Hello All. We are happy new owners of an R-Pod 171 we purchased from a friend here in North Carolina. The photo is our only trip so far, to visit our mother in Texas showing our African Gray Congo, Rupert. We have a question on our R-Pod with the winter approaching. Can anyone provide us information on steps to winterize our unit? I found a YouTube video that references a document from a user here, but we have searched with no luck. Any help on this appreciated. Thanks.
