No need to replace the valve!
Once you take it off the camper, you can disassemble it from the back and replace the o-ring.

On mine, the low point drains are seperate and neatly mounted under the kitchen sink.
Easiest way to find them is to look under the camper and find the red/blue tubes sticking out.

Note that they...

No way to answer that, except to say the antifreeze is cheaper than the propane.
I winterize mine several times a year when a hard freeze is forecasted and then just take it out an use when I want.

Seems silly to leave the low point drain open and have all the antifreeze on the ground.
But, I don't see any harm in doing it either.

Personally, I would not want my water system open to the...

l also make a point to clean the AC dust filter when I winterize. I usually do it a couple times a year, but just seems like a good time to do it when winterizing. I know I won't think about it in...

And don't forget to sanitize the fresh water tank with about 1/4 cup of bleach and a full load of water.

Glad it was helpful. The ease of this project allows us to spend a lot more time camping. It just takes a decent forecast and a little cabin fever for me to go camping for a weekend.

So, new learning for this part!
If you force the one-way valve open while the system is under full (pump) pressure, you can dislodge the o-ring in the valve and it will leak. You'll know this the...

I would not get the fresh water tank involved at all. Just get there and run city water through all lines before filling the water heater.

Hard to believe I originally posted this a year ago, already.
Well, about a week earlier on the calendar and it's time to do it again with temps dipping into the mid 20s this week. :(

Ahh, well that sucks. Maybe take the bracket off the wall inside and hit the electronics stores to find a match.

The same V bracket is mounted to the inside of the trailer and is currently holding up your TV.

Out of curiosity, how did that clip come off? You don't have to remove it to open the valve.

Cold snap coming here this weekend but a few hours of frost is probably not enough to warrant winterizing.
I figure it has to be below 32F for several hours before anything inside is in peril.

It's also a good idea to leave the faucets OPEN after you do any winterizing as this helps drain out of the fixtures after the pressure is off. Just remember to close them all before hooking back up!

Part 2

Close those low-point valves and locate the back of the water heater access as well as the water pump. Your location may vary, but you probably need to remove a useless panel.

First, let's...

Paper towels and a bucket...
