Thanks for the info! My wife and I use our T@B 400 all year long also. In the bathroom I put a shut off valve on the toilet water supply to keep from drawing my pink stuff thru the system. Then we bring pink stuff along to flush with without pulling it thru our winterized system. We use maybe 2-3 gallons for a 3-4 night stay, which comes out to be about $8-12 in in pink stuff. I put a shut off valve on the toilet water connection
We blow out our water lines and then put rv antifreeze in traps and toilet. No problems and it can get brutally cold in central IL. I have trickle chargers on our coach and chassis batteries and check the water level in them in the spring. Mice can still be a problem though so I use peppermint oil on cotton balls throughout the rv which seems to help a lot along with a few traps. We house it in the barn, so it’s protected from snow/rain. Thanks for the video!
When you were getting your camper, it was between the cougar 23 mle and your alliance. You chose the alliance. Was the cable slide any influence on your decision? What are your thoughts on the cable slide?
We have never had a cable slide so I personally don't have any first hand knowledge of them. I did have several people warn about the possible issues with them. It wasn't a deal breaker for us but we were really happy that Alliance used a rack and pinion slide system on ours.
If your RV is properly winterized why are you heating it? I also thought as long as you don’t change those batteries freezing temperatures won’t damage them. I am in Ohio and I winterize in November. I don’t run any heat.
For winter in our Tab we just grab a 5 gallon home Depot bucket, line it with a good quality bag, top it with a pool noodle as a seat cover, and throw in a few inches of wood pellets, plus an extra couple handfuls after each usage. No smell and super easy!

Sounds good 😊
Your theory is spot on. Water down toilet, flush black tank prior to leaving, flush pink before drive home.

sounds like a good setup. hope you had a nice weekend.
Good info, thank you.
Great information. We don’t have lithium batteries yet but I was very interested in how you camp in February without dewinterizing.

I have been using grandpa gus packet for the past two years. They really work well. Countdown to spring!
