location Low point drains on Wildcat Sterling 32RL

[extremebike]

Hi

I need help locating the low point drains on my Wildcat Sterling 32RL. I have had the unit for a while but the dealer usually does the dewinterize. I don't have time to go to the dealer this time. Thank you in advance.

I didn’t own a Sterling but on the Wildcat I used to own the low point drains were located just to the left of the steps and between the frame and the trailer’s skin. To see them I had to actually get on the ground and look up. You should be able to see a red and blue water line.

Perhaps a Sterling owner will be able to confirm this location. I know FRF member NMWildcat has a Sterling 32RL you might send him a PM and ask him.

If you can't find the drains, fill your lines with antifreeze. That's how I winterize mine.

Like oakman said, I have a 2012 32RL and the low points are located just to the right of the stairs (toward the front) about a foot from the edge. And yes, you have to get your head under the trailer to find them. Once you know where they are, you can find them by touch w/o getting under the rig

Thank you for your responses. I am going out this weekend for the first time and I have never dewinterized myself.

The OP is looking to DE-winterize.

There is usually a little more to dewinterizing than opening the low point drains.

Depending on what water heater you have, you'll also need to know about the water heater bypass valves and whether the anode rod was reinstalled in the water heater after draining.

You'll need to know if the winterization valve at the water pump is in the proper position. (used to draw antifreeze INTO the system if equipped)

Many of us also sanitize the plumbing system after removing/flushing the antifreeze.

If you don't know where the low point drains are you may not be aware of the other things.
Search the library here in the forums.
There's good info residing there.

Yes, thanks. I have a handle on the rest of it. I just never looked or found the low points.

We have the same camper. Ours are on the right side near the steps under the camper. I put ball valves on mine to make them easy to open and close.

We LOVE ours BTW.

I don't winterize because of where I have the RV during winter. My low point drain and water heater drain were labeled and are on the drivers side near the water and TV hookup. 2015 Wildcat 327 ck.
