Winterizing Early

[CampyTime]

As a teacher, i'm back to school and busier than ever! Single mom with two kids and the work never ends! With the call for a polar vortex in our area end of September, i thought about winterizing now to save time as I'll be raking scores of leaves in October. Its ok right, if i decide to camp still to be driving around with that antifreeze in the tank and lines? I'm sure that full timers must run into thus issue when crossing state lines.

I can just dry camp if i want right?

Yes that's fine. don't forget to drain water heater and all lines. Winterizing has always concerned me after a friend forgot to drain his shower hose and it burst. I actually installed a winterizing kit so it will suck antifreeze into all lines.

I second the winterizing kit. Makes is so easy to to a really complete job. I can do my Scamp with less than one gallon of anti-freeze using a water heater bypass kit as well. Just a little plumbing needed to install and then its pretty easy. I pump about ¾ gallon to fill the lines and dump the rest in the sink traps.

Best Autumn to you all, john

Sounds great papa t, but Im limited and i admit it. If I had some mechanical help and supervision, Id do it. Only thing Ive done on my own is tow and winterize, fire up water tank, wax and add rubber d moulding to door entry. When i read all these fabulous posts, i get sad cuz my trailer will always be "standard" I'm afraid. Ah well.
