winter

A list of things I have done/do so I do not have to rush south when the temps get down into the mid teens at night. Have seen 12 degrees at night and one 30 hour stretch where it did not get above 25 degrees. A few nights in a row in the mid teens as long as it gets to freezing or just above...

Hello all, I am in need of advice on how to drain the water out of the washing machine that remains after running a washer load. I noticed a lot of remaining water when I was having to move the washer while replacing the dryer motor bearings a couple of months ago. I tried using a shop vac on...

I've taken on a 1996 Four Winds Class C. The chassis is a 1995 Ford e350 Econoline. While I feel pretty good about working on mechanical issues, I have always avoided working with electrical issues...until now. But I like figuring out puzzles. I'm persistent and good at problem-solving, but...

I started my 1st time winterizing and feel that it went poorly. 1) 1st attempt did draw pink antifreeze thru to the interior faucets. The faucet flow was ok but slow. 2) I feel that the single filter canister may or may not be impeding the winterization process. Also, filter was in the...

Hi all, looking to reassure myself. We live on west coast of CDA. Winter temps max out at -15c ( 5 Fahrenheit). Each year I’ve been removing my 2 flooded 6 volt bats but they are getting heavier ( me weaker) each year. We plug the Moho class c 22’ in all winter so we can have our camco air...

Good morning! As a long time Rv 'er from the west coast I've never had to winterize any equipment I've ever owned. Last March we moved from Las Vegas, Nv to the coast of Virginia and now find ourselves needing to protect the rig until spring Any tips on how to inject the fluid into the water...

I'll be going through my first winter with my 2022 Phaeton 40IH (XSH). I've had RVs for 20+ years and lived in Canada a decent amount of that time so cold weather and keeping things thawed or winterized isn't exactly new to me. But... first time through the winter with this rig and I'm...

Just some data points to ponder. When I was winterizing on the 5th, I had a good chunk of a gallon of antifreeze spill on the bed platform (mattress not involved, thankfully). Wiped it up but wanted to assure everything dried thoroughly, so have been running a small, 30W AC fan via inverter and...

I'm a little new at this so I have a question. I recently had my coach winterized at the local rv dealership. When I checked the residential fridge, the filter was still in place instead of the plug. Is this normal procedure?

I have a 2023 Flagstaff 26RKBS Trailer with factory installed 200W solar panel and lead-acid battery. I'm trying to decide whether to: 1. . . disconnect and store the battery for the winter or... 2. . . leave the battery connected and expect the solar panel to maintain the battery...

As I struggle to ensure my travel trailer will make it through the winter, both with me living in it and not, I am annoyed that it is so hard. I keep thinking of things the manufacturer could have done to make it easier, and I wonder if any have, or if I'm just misunderstanding the problem...

We're heading into our first winter season of travel in our new, to us, 2023 Unity MB van. The only winter info that I've found is with regard to "winterizing" and "de-winterizing". What about "traveling" in the winter? I dont want to go through those procedures several times during the winter...

I have the Arctic Package and I noticed the 2 inch duct from the furnace to the enclosed underbelly goes under the kitchen island about 6 feet from where the furnace and water lines are before it drops under the floor. So, the duct goes in the opposite direction of the wet bay area. I put a...

I’ve spent the last 4 hrs trying to do what should take 20 minutes. Winterizing my coach and the pump simply will not prime. I tried all the tricks like reversing the screen, opening the drain valve, placing the container above siphon level AND I’ve tried each one at least 6 times. It simply...

Yeah, I know, this is quite similar to other recent posts, but I'd like your thoughts of how you would deal with it. I was planning on leaving the LiFePO4 batteries in the coach for the winter. I just became aware the storage temp spec is listed at 14° to 122°, so plans have changed...

I seem to have lost the metal disc that is used to keep the water filter caniister from filling with rv antifreeze. I put my filter in a box and the disc ends up as a bypass for the filter canister. It saves on rv antifreeze. I searched the internet and can't find a replacement. I don’t even...

I'm going to be storing my Class A outside on gravel this winter in Minnesota. I plan on parking the tires off the ground on 2 x 6's. Should I leave my hydraulic leveling jacks up or put them down? Thanks in advance Jim +

This is how I avoid Winter RV Propane tank fill-ups while parked at home. Integra Ethos RV internal temperature set at 40 degrees Fahrenheit to keep unit on stand-by all winter long, with the propane supplied by a conventional 20lb grille bottle (4.7 gal). A 100 lb bottle also exists. Heating...

I have a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and a Contoure front loading washer. Was wondering if it is OK to winterize them both by doing a rinse cycle using RV antifreeze. Maybe a dumb question but just want to be sure.

So I am trying to winterize my coach, and I have a winterize switch in the water bay. I presume that hitting the switch will suck the antifreeze out of the. bottle, through the hose on the reel and then into the couch. But instead, when I hit the winter switch and turn on the pump, water is...

Good Morning. I am a “new to me” 2020 Thor 22FE and will be putting the RV away for the winter here in SE PA. I plan on keeping the RV covered and on shore power for the entire winter season. From what I read the coach battery will be maintaining it’s charge through the shore power/controller...

We all winterize our RVs, but those who snowbird down south do winterize their home. A few years ago, we had an ice storm in Kansas that left us without power for 2 weeks. What if this happened while we were down south and the temperature drops well below freezing? We turn off the water...

Hello Everyone, We are brand new to the RV world and have an employee at our therapeutic horsemanship center that will live in an RV fulltime. I welcome suggestions on 1. best method to keep fresh water hose from freezing in winter, we are connected to well water from a frost free hydrant...

I have purchased a 2021 Coachmen Beyond 22c li3 on a 2019chassis. there is no owner’s manual so I don’t know where the lithium battery is, or how to winterize the battery. Do I remove the battery? The unit will not be connected to shore power and will not be in a heated garage. I am at a...

I am looking for temporary carport non metal to park my 2022 Travato in Everyone I see will not handle the height Any ideas or other suggestions?
