OMG! It is going to be 20 degrees here in Las Vegas during the next week. We got a call from a friend who has an RV manufactured by the same company as ours, (Tiffin) and they said we needed to winterize the coach. What? Winterize? Who knows how? Not us.
So, my poor husband hightails it down to Camping World and gets the antifreeze and then gets the manual for the coach out. Does it tell you how to winterize the coach? Yes, but do the instructions make sense? NO!
He is out in the cold for three hours working on the bugger and still can’t get the outlet valve for the water heater off. It is in a place you can’t reach and it has a “soft” plug you can’t get off. He finally does get it off and now he drains the water out. OK, that is done, but now he is supposed to drain the ice maker. Yikes, impossible task at this point in time, so he drains the tanks, lets it go at that, and prays. We will see how that works out.
I guess this is just preparation for inevitable things that will happen while we are on the road.
I, of course, am inside making coffee the whole time. Well, I did venture out to take him the coffee!!

And they say it doesn’t get cold in the desert. We experienced that in October. We were waking up to 39 degrees for a few days.

I hear you! Because of the cold, we actually decided not to use the water yet in our new RV so we haven’t even figured out how to hook up our water and drain it, etc. That was our form of winterizing. We’ll attempt it when it warms up in the Spring. Hope you’re staying warm! 🙂
