[j4man]

anyone know of a link to show me how to summerize the 233s? had dealer winterize last year while doing warranty work and picked it up after service hours. no manual came with camper and can't seem to find one anywhere or even a video of it being done. thanks

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. First to get the correct answers you need to use the correct terms "summarizing" is a term I have never heard however if you were to lookup de-winterizing you will find a ton of information using the search function at the top of the page or going to youtube, you can find the manuals on line at the Mfgs site and elsewhere. good luck

winterizing is the process of getting water out of the water lines so it does not freeze, and also the water filter and the hot water tank...

ds-winterizing is the process of using the water lines as they were intended...

don't turn on the hot water tank unless there is water in it already as you will burn up the heater rod...

there may be some pink-stuff anit-freeze in drain traps (possibly) it will just go into the grey and black tanks and not hurt a thing...

try out all of your electrical systems, then crawl up on the roof and inspect the caulking for cracks and possible leaks and re-caulk if necessary

air up your tires and visually inspect the trailer

There, you have de-winterized...

You'll need to flush the rv antifreeze out of the system. It's basically reversing the 'winterizing' process and there are many videos showing how to do that. Then you'll also need to sanitize the water system. Draining the fresh water tank and filling with fresh water may be needed.

If you go to www.forestriverinc.com and choose Owners at the top, you can then go to videos and search for 'how to winterize your forest river travel trailer.' They also have a video to 'sanitize the water system.'

We have a ROO 21SS. If your water system is like ours, don’t forget to turn the bypass valve for your fresh water tank.

If the dealer used antifreeze expect to need a lot of flushing to get rid of the tasteless taste. If they put it in the freshwater tank expect even more flushing caused by this needless shortcut. This Fall do it yourself. Only takes an hour while doing other storage chores and antifreeze is not needed, just get rid of all the water in the system.

This Spring you'll also want to sanitize the water system. Plenty of instructions here and everywhere on the web.

Tire pressure will be low. Lug nuts will be loose unless you've been personally torquing them periodically.
