2014 Vibe 6502/Winterizing

Looking for any other Vibe 6500 series owners familiar with this process as I plan on taking on this task within the next few weeks. I've read the manual BUT if someone had step by step pics or a video instruction it would be incredibly helpful (I'm a visual learner). Seems simple but...it's my first time and any tips or help I welcome

Ha! That's my philosophy. We did find that we missed one of our toilets and ended up with a leak this spring.

I made a list.

Outside shower first, check!
Inside shower, check!
Bathroom sink, check!
etc, etc!
then I rechecked.

In the Forest River FAQ area (forum) there is a while sub-forum dedicated to winterizing. One of the Sticky threads (at the top) contains a link to a video showing how to do it.

I double and triple checked everything....since it was the 1st time for me I tend to "second guess" my work.....

my only question would be do I leave the valves this way over the winter? I will take the battery out later this week (maybe even tomorrow and I do have a battery tender to plug it into over the winter). "Moth Balls" in place...what else...??
