A Fresh Perspective on Winterizing

[DavidBo]

Hardcore RV winterizing is not a big thing down in my parts as real hard freezes are a rarity. However, like much of the country, over the next few days we will be experiencing that rare hard freeze. I have several friends with trailers so my portable air tank and hose fitting have been making the rounds blowing out RV water lines all across the Coastal Bend, and Wal-Mart finally sold a few gallons of the pink stuff.
I was talking to one friend of mine, who I thought was an experienced RV owner, about winterizing his rig. His response?

"My trailer was already winterized when I bought it 4 years ago."

I'm rarely at a loss for words, this was one of those times.

Alrighty then !!! [emoji120]

[Sfry]

Ooooook keep us posted on how that goes

[SlfMdeFam]

Well duh. Aren’t they all?! That’s why Wally World never sells the pink stuff. It’s already done. Nuff said.

We haven't had an above freezing day in a few weeks with a quite a number of sub zero temperatures. Even though it's far too late to do anything about it, occasionally I will run through the winterization steps I performed back in October in my head hoping there was nothing I forgot.

I almost sprayed my morning caffeine across the room!!

I bet you his dealer told him that when he did his PDI......"We did it for you, you never have to worry about that again!"

[kcmusa]

I hope you educated him

[Beluga]

Wow why didn't I think of that? Would save me a couple of hours twice a year. Question. Did he de-winterize it before using it the first time or just have awful tasting water for the first 10 trips or so?

Here's your sign

That's a good one....and mine still has a sticker on it from when I picked it up last March that says "This unit is winterized" or something like that. I tried peeling it off but it's a real sticker (not Post-It style) so just left it rather than dealing with removing all the adhesive. Every time I looked at that sticker I wondered if anyone ever got fooled - now I know!! Like a broken clock, the sticker is now correct for a few months.

And it was 12 in Carlsbad, NM this morning.

We were at -4 when I went to the gym at 5am. today.

[Scrapper]

Mine's winterized, it's sitting outside with snow on it now.

[jughrad]

Wow, I don't need to winterize because it was done when I bought it!!

I am going to tell my brother Darryl and my other brother Daryl.

[Jrtexas]

I asked a friend of mine a few weeks ago if had winterized his TT (when we were expecting 20's in DFW). His response was "do I need to winterize if I'm taking it out again in a few weeks"?

What?

That is a new one! I've been doing it wrong all these years.

I when it's 4 degrees above zero, the man is constipated.
