    What kind of overflow does the tank have? Would like to see clear photo or line drawing.

    Winterization Options

    Looking to winterize my 2518 for the 1st time. The two options seem to be using a hand pump that connects to the city water inlet or a permanently mounted pump converter installed before the pump. The hand pump at the city water inlet seems the easiest but then isn't the trailer water pump...
