I'm not sure why you need to fill the water lines with anitfreeze? We had house in the country (pretty severe winters in SE Europe) and every fall my parents would blow the water out of pipes and water heater. Nothing ever cracked. If you have compressor, even better. Hook it up to inlet, open outlet, presurize the pipes and you are done. Maybe put some antifreeze in holding tanks.

@oknevals Yes, Blowing the lines out with compressed air will also protect them from freezing up. I have attached a video that shows how to do "Winterize RV with Compressed Air." Thanks for the comment. Best wishes for the comming winter months.

Awesome video Bro.. I am a new owner (and have the exact same trailer BTW! ) Anyhow, I was planning on doing this next week, but tonight I woke up at midnight to 4 inches of snow.. UHG. Guess I;ll be dealing with this today!

@treefireguy Thanks for the comment. Sometimes getting an early start can be a blessing - last year I waited till late and then had to travel to the next town to find the pottable antifreeze. If ya'll have any extra snow, send it on down to Texas. It's bone dry down here - even the trees are starting to give up.

This is probably the most down to earth, easy to understand thing I have ever been a part of! Thanks for sharing. I'm getting ready to do mine soon, because it's starting to get pretty cold here in Anderson, SC. I may or may not make a new video on it. Who knows? Thanks again!

I like the added ball cock that was added to the water heater; and the 1/2 inch flex line. that's a nice way of how the experts teach! and how us ' newbies learn... absolutely informally information .. thanks for the help!!

Excellent. Needed someone to simply show how it's done and I've been well educated in 5 minutes. Thanks a bunch!

Great, easy to follow video Jimbow, appreciate the info. I'm a 1st. time camper owner & was just saying to the wife that I need to figure this out. You did it for me. Thanks again. Scotty.

Yup, I ran down to the RV last night and turned on the propane heater for the night.. hopefully that helped. I am not ready for snow!!
