Winterizing 2014 Georgetown Motorhome
Help! New at this - trying to winterize and have been able to get thru everything except the domestic refrigerator. Does anyone have any advice on how to get this done?

One of the members here wrote up a pretty nice tutorial on winterizing a 2014 Georgetown. The section you want is all the way at the bottom. Hope it helps.

Winterizing 2014 Georgetown
What a great site - thanks for the quick response (we are still waiting to hear back from the dealer)! The write up was helpful and the pictures were great. Got me going in the right direction.

No problem. I've learned so much from the members on this site as well.
For future reference, there's a section for Georgetown specific questions that would get a lot more visibility from other Georgetown owners.
I happen to catch this thread because it was in the "Recent Discussion" box.
Here's the link: Georgetown - Forest River Forums

The Residential Refrigerator water supply and shut off on my 378TS are hard to get at. So to winterize it I: 1. make sure the fridge is on with fridge filter in place, 2. hook up air purge supply to the city water port, 3. purge all the water possible from the fridge door water tap, 4. close the water supply valve, 5. turn off fridge and remove the water filter. 6. the water supply shut off on the 378 is in the wall behind the white access panel located in the lower shelf area of the towel storage in front on the toilet. I can't see it but if I stick my hand in there I can feel it enough to close it off.

Not positive but I believe alparmer wrote that up. I saved that the first time I saw it. Much better than anything provided by FR

Yes Alparmer did write that up, and its a fantastic tutorial.
Unfortunately, I saw his Georgetown on ebay a couple weeks ago, so I think he might be moving onto something else.

We followed the directions and found them helpful - only questionable item is that darn refrigerator (with ice and water in the door). We never saw pink ice cubes - only slush in the ice cube tray. Figure that was because the anti-freeze was in the lines? Everything else went well and was pretty straight forward. We have it in storage now until the end of January when we head to Florida -- hopefully dewinterizing will be easier!

Oh glad we aren't the only ones -- We also put 6 gallons of antifreeze in waiting for pink -- we figured the antifreeze was in the refrigerator by feeling the water coming out from the water dispenser in the door (felt oily).

By blowing out the fridge lines and then closing the water supply valve to the fridge, you should not have had to run anti freeze through the fridge lines.

Took me 2 gallons to winterize mine this year, even though I forgot to remove my filter!

Not sure there is a shut-off. All I have are Bypass calves for Hot water.

The valve is to the right of the frig. Remove the bottom drawer and you have an access cover. The shut-off is behind the access cover. You have to get down on the floor and reach back to run the valve on and off
