Thanks, never heard of the vinegar suggestion. What make of non-toxic antifreeze is it that you use that meets Ford's specs? And where do you find such a product?
Sounds a bit safer.

Sounds like a lot of glycol mixture to try and capture for recycling? Even a weak mixture has to be recycled. Can I ask why the vinegar and if it a flush, why use distilled water if it is going to be...

Just to let you know that I did find the plastic valve on the radiator. It was hidden behind a hose. Better than a brass petcock as I can get a small hose on it to drain into a 5 gal bucket.

Thanks

If you look at the specs for the ford v10, they will take 29 liters (approx 31 qts) of coolant but I am not sure if that is with the aux water heater coils (which I have) if you used 4 gals, then you...

Thanks, I'll check again when it stops raining. Could just be an old blind guy. Would be a good idea if I could find the right place to actually flush the system and totally replace as I do not know...

Thanks I wouldn't mind that but I was quoted 150.00 and I figure I can save at least half that. The guy at the shop said the rig would take about 60 bucks worth of coolant. Have to see what the specs...

2000 Winnebago 35U with V10

Has anyone had any experience on the best way to change the coolant in this rig? I do not see a drain on the radiator or the block other than the Allen bolts on the side of the block. Any suggestions?
