Winterizing a DP

[sherman12]

Not that I am looking forward to the end of the 2019 camping season for us in the Northeast U.S., but my DW and I were wondering if there is anything different I will need to do with my new to me DP when it comes time to park it for the winter?

As with my past Georgetown gasser, the Sportscoach will be in our driveway off to the side plugged into the garage 20 amp plug as it is all season. I would assume the air would be dumped, but, is there anything else special I would need to do to prepare it to sit upwards to six months?

Thanks!

water piping system must be blown out or Antifreeze installed into the system to prevent freezing and broken pipes. holding tanks drained. This should have been done with your other RV's

Yeah, pretty familiar with the normal "plumbing stuff" for winterizing. I will have to find the water heater bypass yet and water pump line to suck up the pink anti-freeze.

Since the rig will be at my home, plugged in, I was checking to see if there is anything unique to a diesel, different then the reliable Ford V10. After sitting a couple of months, can I expect the Cummins to start right up?
