    Missing the part where you open/close the water tank parts, run the pump, etc.

    Now that is snug but it works. That doesn't seem like a bad process and now your all set for this years adventures.

      Thanks, Dragon! Yes. We are more than ready! Hoping we can get out to the campgrounds soon. Lots of rain here this weekend though.

    Great teamwork! It is the first time I see the de-winterizing of a camper 😊 Pink water! It fits perfectly 👌 Onto outdoors adventures now 😀

      Pink antifreeze. 😄 Now it’s gone and we can use the pipes again. Thanks, Alexandra!

    That is a really cool camper! I think if I ever got a camper, I’d want a smaller one like that one. Not too small, not too big!

    • @HappyTrailsHiking

      Hey, Shawn. We really like the size of Alf. And he has gotten into some neat campgrounds in the last couple of years. Thanks!

    Awesome! Alf is ready to go for 2021 adventures! There was more to getting alf ready than I expected, but good to know from your experience what to do so anyone who's purchased a camper will know what to do as well. Get ready 2021 Happy Trails Hiking is good to go 😉☺️🌲

      Thank you, Gil!! We are SO ready to get out and about! If the rain would go away, I could be a happier camper. 😄

    Nice to see Alf coming out of hibernation. You need to go out and test now.

    Good job ! Does 'Alf 'not have a motor to raise/lower the roof panels ? I thought these models came with an 'actuator' motor ?? Thanks !!

    • @HappyTrailsHiking
      @HappyTrailsHiking  3 роки тому

      Hi, Gerard. It did come with an actuator motor. It quit working right before we took it out last year. We removed the arm and now lift it this way. My understanding is that it is common for those motors to breakdown. Thanks for your comment. Kay

    Did you have antifreeze in the fresh water tank? If so it should be filled and flushed several times.

    • @HappyTrailsHiking
      @HappyTrailsHiking  3 роки тому

      No. 😄 But you are correct. Thanks for the tip. (And we don’t drink the water from these lines either.)

  • @keithguy9671
    @keithguy9671 3 роки тому

    just 1 question, wont there be antifreeze around the water pump and wouldn't the house water bypass that?

    • @HappyTrailsHiking
      @HappyTrailsHiking  3 роки тому

      Yes, there would be antifreeze around the water pump. We did run the water pump to get that out. We filled the tank below the rig and ran that water through the system. This process takes a lot of water.
