Thanks Birdman!

Planning on doing a "tour" of campgrounds/resorts in Florida next Jan-Mar 2019.  We were going to plan a month long stay for each month but now we don't think we want to be locked into a location if we don't like it.  So now we're thinking about maybe 2 to 3 weeks at different camprounds to get...

We looked at a lot of FWs and like a lot of others will tell you flooplan for full timing is important.  We went with a Montana 3720RL which is more of a two to four person rig.  Open floor plan.  It comes in at about 39 feet and change.  Don't just look at websites, get out and in rigs you...

Update:ok first I feel like a complete idiot.  With the warmer weather I've had a chance to get back in the rig and get ready for the season.  I thought I had only ONE control for AC/Heat but I do have two!  I thought they worked in unison but they are separate for front and back units.  Hooked...

We picked our 2018 Montana 3720RL last year and so far love it.  Very open floor plan.  It's a 4 Season so it's underbelly is insulated(closed) and has heated tanks if needed.  Yes it's heavier than a lot of other rigs but we picked it for long term stays (snow birding).  It's more expensive...

Update: Weather finally got nice enough to open up the slides and check the plumbing.  I was glad when I opened up the shower faucets and let it hang down pink came out.  So I had AF in the shower plumbing and everything looks good.  Left the faucets open to let drain back down.  Thanks all for...

Thanks Todd.  Makes sense.

One additional comment is that my 5th wheel is a Four Seasons rig that's pretty well wrapped up underneath and is extra insulated.  Would that help lesson the possibility of the shower plumbing getting froze?

It does not have a leak...that I know of.  As I have said all the pumbing was winterized with the exception (I think) of the shower.  I can't remember if I ran anti-freeze thru it when I did the rest.  Looks like an early spring so I'll get the chance to test it soon.  Fingers crossed. 

Many thanks to all for your responses.  Exactly what I was looking for. Last question I hope...IF I have a leak in the shower plumbing how do I access it to fix it?  Or is this a dealership issue?

Thanks for all the responses.  Another question is what is better then...blowing out pipes with air or winterize with RV anti-freeze?

Thanks Rene.  I think you're right.  The only water that might be trapped would have been in the hose itself.  I drained all tanks and ran water pump until air was being spurted out and then ran with anti freeze until it came out of taps.  So water in shower plumbing should have drained back...

Thanks all for the responses.  I ran pink thru everything except the stupid shower head.  So that's the only plumbing I was concerned about.  Look's like we'll see in a few weeks now that the weather is changing.  Just wondering if anyone else may have a similar experience and what was the result?

Used anti-freeze.  But like I said forgot to open shower head and run anti-freeze thru it.

Thanks Tom.  Yes I drained everthing.
