If you are located in a place that gets even one hard freeze in the winter, you may soon need to blow out the water system for 10 minutes or so at 35 psi with all faucets and taps open. To be double sure you may do as I have and pull the cabinet front off to get at that cursed water manifold, which tends to collect water in low points, which can freeze and split the plastic manifold. I have found that the blowing out process clears the water pump well enough to not be a problem.

I remove the pump screen to empty it after blowing the system out and then I put it back on.

Being that my Hawk is brand new as of early September and I live here in Wyoming, I followed the FWC video on YouTube on how to winterize the camper. I found it to be very simple and the new Truma Aquago hot water heater made it very simple to drain. After turning off the inline valve going to it I blew out all of the lines after draining the main water tank.
