      Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just finished every one of those steps myself. (First time RV owner myself). I just have one question...I had antifreeze coming through the rear low point drain, but not the front. Should I be worried? Should I try again?

      So if your water pump does not have a pigtail line for winterizing, where can I find out how I can source the same connector as my water supply line? Your siphon hose appears to have an identical fitting as your supply line. I’m presuming that you’ll need that in order to connect the siphon hose properly and not get a giant pink mess everywhere…no??

    Just want to follow up. I did my TT this weekend using your guide. Worked like a charm. I threw a small bucket under my low point drain and captured the antifreeze to use in my sink drains. I had an extra outdoor kitchen sink. Used less than 2 gallons. Thanks again for making such a thorough how to.

      Isn't it redundant to pour antifreeze down the drains since you already turned the faucets on to get the AF to flow through the lines? Seems a waste to add more when the traps are already full.

Rather than step 20 using clean in the jug antifreeze which seems a waste, I found the amount I caught in the bucket to be plenty for traps and toilet in addition to small amount from faucets. This was just my way to save the stuff in the jug.

    Just a quick update on making sure even if you haven't used your water heater for a couple months, that you use the pressure relief valve before you remove the anode rod. John was nice enough to mention it in the video but my elevator doesn't always go to the top (on paying attention) and I got a face full of hot water tank water (it was cold water by now) mixed with all the white junk in it. It would make America's funniest videos if someone captured me doing it but it could also be dangerous when the anode rod bursts out. That's my bad, John mentions it but I didn't follow directions step by step. Thanks for the video, John!

    It wasn’t clear where anything was and after a few calls to the manufacturer, I was able to locate the bypass under the bottom bunk, and remove a drawer under the sink to access the water pump. I feel SO MUCH relief now that our camper is winterized. Thanks for the clear instructional video.

    My husband and I have a 2006 Layton 5th Wheel. We don't use the pink antifreeze for our water lines. We live in the Northeast where we have at least 5 months or more of winter. My husband uses a small air compressor at PSI 25 to blow out all the water. You have to open all faucets when doing so and the outside hot water heater has to be drained too. Works awesome!

    • @JohnMarucci
      @JohnMarucci  3 роки тому

    love the explanation john.. very informative.. what i usually been doing for years is: after draining all the water out of the rv and water heater tank, i put 3 jugs on antifreeze on my clear water tank, turn on the water pump and turn on all the faucets till antifreeze is running on those hot and cold lines. after that i turn off water pump and take the clear tank cap off and let the remaining antifreeze out of that tank straight to a bucket and later on dumped on p traps around the coach and toilet.

    • @JohnMarucci
      @JohnMarucci  Рік тому

      It certainly is a way to do the process without having to use a siphon hose. You may want to think about a final rinse of the fresh water tank so the antifreeze residue doesn't remain in the tank off season. Thanks for sharing.

  • @garyp9906
    @garyp9906 3 роки тому +1

    Very good video! I do just about everything that you showed, however I don't go through the process of disconnecting the intake hose at the pump. It's hard to get to in my Coachmen Catalina 243RBS. After I blow the entire system out, I add about 2 gals of the pink antifreeze right to the fresh water tank. I then turn the pump on and open each faucet until I see pink. Then I'm through. In the Spring, I drain the fresh water tank and flush it a few times with some bleach and water. We don't use the fresh water tank to drink from...just showers and washing dishes. So far, so good. Haven't had any problems yet. My other RV that we had, I was able to easily get to the pump and add antifreeze the way you showed. I have a friend that only blows his system out with air and says he's never had a problem. Never uses antifreeze. Again, good video!!

    By far the best and most useful video for this procedure. Thank you. I have a 2017 coachmen freedom express set up completely different from your setup. I was able to follow along almost exactly based on your step by step instruction. Made it way easier to follow. Thanks again.

    Great how to guide. I just got a 2017 Cruiser Radiance and have been researching the Winterizing process this month. All my water connections and valves lined up perfectly with this. I feel much more confident now that I got this as soon as I find the panel hiding the water pump. 😊 Thanks for making a clear instructional video.👍

    John, greetings. hope you had a great summer camping season! We did, we took your advice and visited Petoskey state park and Mackinaw Island. We really enjoyed our trip from Wisconsin to Michigan. Anyway question: when you winterize your camper and prepare your camper for storage do you empty your camper on the inside. What do you remove and what do you keep inside? How about storage garages do you leave things under in storage space?
    I really appreciate your instruction videos and refer to them often. Thanks again for sharing so much information!! Bruce

    • @JohnMarucci
      @JohnMarucci  Рік тому

      I fully clear out my trailer for off-season storage. I don't want anything inside for critters to have at. It also means you can easily inspect the trailer off-season to see if there have been intrusions. Hope this helps!

    I live in northern Michigan been trailer camping 30 + years .. blow out with air compressor. Zero need for antifreeze. Keep all faucets in on position..

    • @JohnMarucci
      @JohnMarucci  3 роки тому

      Yep, that's certainly a way to do it if you know what you are doing. Lot's of people don't know or are new and the risk is pretty high if you don't get all the water out. There's a comment below from a lady who works in an RV dealership and they see lots of broken water pumps in the spring from folks who leave water in the pump when winterizing. Thanks!

    Hi John, awesome simple, straight-forward instructions (we just got a Grand Designs)! We're supposed to get into the teens next week but will be taking the trailer out the following (great timing lol) -- live in Austin where we'll get a couple snaps but nothing like living in the midwest or New England. Advice on what's best for a couple days of freeze snap before heading out? TIA!

    • @JohnMarucci
      @JohnMarucci  10 місяців тому

All though I have a class a this information is easy to follow for any rv. Thanks for taking the time to make the video for us rookies.

    Thanks for making this video! We just bought that exact RV (2020 Keystone Bullet 243bhs) and this is absolutely the BEST information on winterization I've found. It was a little intimidating at first, but now that I've followed the steps in your video, it seems easy.
