Tracer Winterizing

[goofey chuck]

Im trying to use my pump to winterize with antifreeze but it wont prime itself.... I put 12 gals in. Help

Well u definitely don't need 12 gallons to winterize a typical RV. So obviously it's going somewhere and I would suspect your fresh water tank. Take off the cap on the fw tank Drain and see if you get pink? Did you add a siphon hose to your pump inlet or did your Rv come with it?

The Tracer unit is completely sealed underneath,,, antifreeze is in my fresh water tank... pump blows air but not antifreeze

So if I'm understanding you correctly you added 12 gallons to your fresh water tank and now your trying to use your pump to get it to each water spigot? That's not the way most people do it but that honestly that should work. Have you bypassed the water heater yet? Do you have a winterize valve in your docking station?

seeing you have the same trailer as me (3200bht), i'd drain all that antifreeze back into the jugs.... hook up a compressor and blow the lines, then just add some pink stuff to the sink/shower drains and about 1/2 gal or so to the black/grey tanks... (be sure to close the valve under bathroom sink for the hot water heater...
