This might work well on the back of the panels.
You can either add RV anti freeze to the tank, put the w/heater on bypass, then pump the antifreeze through the lines. Or you can get a plug that goes on the city water connection and use compressed air to blow the water out. If you blow it out, be sure to get the water out of the pump. That can be done by disconnecting the discharge side and running the pump (after the tank and lines are blown out). There will be a cup or two of water that you'll need to catch.2thdr said:The original owner, in five years of ownership never drained the water tank and water heater to winterize. I was amazed that the water tasted fresh, with absolutely no odor. I think it is a testament to the quality of the water in Bellingham and their mild climate I guess? Anyway with 20 degree temps the night we took delivery, and not having tools or knowledge of the systems, I ran the furnace overnight to keep everything from freezing. When I got home I drained the water heater by removing the plug and drained the water tank by a combination of running the tap and the exterior drain spigot. I'm not sure how to get the water out of the plumbing. Any ideas would be appreciated. Fortunately the weather has warmed up a bit here.

However, that manual does instruct the removal of the water heater drain plug which is not recomended by the manufacturer. The 2012-2014 manual:

Covers the use of the "low point valve" to drain the water heater if your camper has that feature.
I think you can buy just the rubber insert. Don't have a link, sorry. Maybe someone else will post it. MIne is worn out also. I just use a bungee to hold the door open against the holder. One of these days I might buy the new rubber.2thdr said:Next question...What type or brand is this door catch/bumper so I can order a new one? The rubber is dry rotted and doesn't hold the door open anymore.
