New to this RV thing... bought a new Jayco this July. Reading in the manual last night about winterizing it, which points to 1) simply blowing out the lines through the city fill with an air compressor, and then pouring a bit of RV antifreeze in the drains, or, 2) pumping RV antifreeze into the system until it runs out all the faucets, etc. Downside of the latter: Seems the water filter needs to be taken out.
Issue is: Will be parking it here in cold country until early January, and then heading south for a couple of months. So, need to only winterize it for a couple of months (late October through December, and then I am out of here!). Am thinking will do #1: What think?
It can get pretty cold here in December... maybe as low as 15-degrees (for short periods)... is the air purge (and drain the water heater) plus some RV antifreeze in the drains enough?
