Winterization of the recreational vehicle so that it can spend the winter without problems
Steps to follow to be able to winterize a typical trailer.
-
-
The undersides of the trailers are only protected by a tarpaulin.
-
Items passing through this tarp leave openings for rodents or other insects
-
Patch those holes with duck tape
-
-
-
With a soft brush and a soap brush clean the exterior of the trailer
-
Make sure it's completely dry before bringing it indoors if that's what you're doing.
-
-
-
After the exterior cleaning, it is an ideal moment to rinse with plenty of water the bumper which also serves as a storage for the sewer pipe.
-
Thoroughly rinse the inner bumper
-
Thoroughly rinse the pipe
-
Leave everything to air dry for a day.
-
A good idea to suspend the pipe so that it drips completely
-
Put it all back in the bumper
-
-
-
Close the refrigerator by pressing OFF
-
Taking tea towels, place it at the bottom of the refrigerator and leave the door open
-
-
-
The next day, clean dry the inside
-
Place baking soda during hibernation
-
Place scraps of wood so that the freezer compartment can breathe and have air
-
If possible open the door ajar during hibernation
-
-
-
-
With a jet nozzle clean the toilet until no more deposits remain and your outlet water is clear
-
If you are not connected to a drain, you can use a bucket and gloves
-
-
-
The valves are placed in such a way as to allocate cold water into the water heater and out. The cold-hot junction valve is closed
-
Open valves to prevent cold water from entering and hot water from exiting. Open the cold-hot junction valve
-
-
-
To drain the water heater, the anode must be unscrewed with a 1 and 1/16 inch socket.
-
Release pressure by pressing the valve repeatedly
-
Unscrew the anode completely and let the water flow completely out of the water heater
-
The teflon tape will be to replace that of the anode next spring
-
Once empty replace the anode
-
-
-
Turn the valve down (for my system) and the pump will draw liquid from the food grade antifreeze container
-
Start the pump
-
-
-
Always one faucet at a time, start with the sink cold water stop when the antifreeze comes out fully pink
-
Continue with the hot water tap
-
Go use the toilet
-
-
-
Open bath cold water faucet, stop when antifreeze comes out
-
Do not forget to shower, water accumulates there.
-
Open hot water tap, stop when antifreeze comes out
-
-
-
Take the fire extinguisher, shake it to stir the powder inside
-
You can knock it lightly on a padded surface
-
Remove any type of fabric likely to be undone by mice or rodents: tissues, paper towels, etc.
-
Finally, place Bounce sheets under mattresses and other pillows.
-
Placed in places near an exterior mouth keep mice and other rodents away with their scent
-
-
-
Disassemble the tank, tie the wires securely so they don't hang or catch anything along the way.
-
Burn the excess gas via the rings, the fridge, the water heater. As soon as the flame starter clicks stop
-
-
-
Close the circuit breakers so as not to draw all the energy from the battery of the towing vehicle during the trip to storage
-
Disconnect the battery and store it out of the gel on a wooden or plastic surface. Anything but concrete. Recharge the battery once or twice during the winter and before leaving with the trailer
-
Tie the battery wires securely
-
Open drain plugs to remove excess water
-
-
-
Possibility of leaving things that do not fear the cold. Plastic tips, empty and dry pipes, tools, etc.
-
Lock all compartments and doors.
-
Leave interior doors open during hibernation
-
If a Max-Air is present leave a very small gap on the roof vent
-
In spring the steps are almost the opposite
In spring the steps are almost the opposite
