So this is my first popup camper and decided it is time to winterize it since I'm done camping until early spring. I did the following:
1. On the last camping trip I opened the valved on the back of the camper to drain the water with the faucets open.
2. Got home pulled the drain plug on the water heater
3. Turned the hot water bypass on
4. Tried pumped water nothing would really come out. so figured it is about as empty as I can get it.
5. I put a couple gallons of RV anti-freeze in the water tank.
6. Turned on the water pump again for the sink and outside shower until pink came out.
7. I then put a Dri-air dehumidifer on the counter in a larger pan. the pan is just in case it overflows..almost had that happen in the past.
I think I'm covered (do correct me if I'm wrong)
I do have one question the camper is sitting on my truck in a un-heated pole barn in the pop'ed up position. I have the cold weather package which I think is just the extra lining that hangs on the inside. and it is plugged into AC.
1. should I take down the lining? I did leave the liner windows open for some air flow, but the outside windows are closed.
2. unplug from shore power and then turn off the power to the camper appliances?
I know long post...
