Winterizing Your RV

If you’ve got an RV, you’ve gotta do quite a bit to maintain it. And when winter arrives, like it does every year, you’ll want to be prepared for winterizing your RV. There’s three sections we’re going to cover for Prince George drivers: how to winterize your automotive components, how to winterize your home components, and how to store your RV. And if you’ve got further questions about getting your RV winterized, our service team would be more than happy to help you out.

Preparing Your Automotive Components for Winter

Getting the automotive parts of your RV winterized mostly pertains to replacing your current coolant with antifreeze. Keep in mind that they sell special antifreeze for RVs, and this is sometimes sold as “RV/Marine” antifreeze. If you’re wondering which of these fluids is best for your RV, we suggest you check your owner’s manual.

Preparing Your Home Components for Winter

As for the “home” part of your RV, the most important part of winterizing your RV is taking care of the plumbing. Be sure to drain your black and gray tanks, but not before you remove the water filters for sending antifreeze through your Houston RV. Drain the hot water heater, but only after you’ve let the water cool. Drain all the water from your RV, then run antifreeze through the lines to ensure that it’s permeated the entire plumbing system. This will ensure that your plumbing doesn’t freeze up during those winter months.

Storing Your RV for Winter

If you don’t plan on taking your RV out in the winter, a great option for Burns Lake drivers is to store your RV for the winter. You can avoid a lot of the problems that come with having your RV outside in the winter if you bring it to a qualified team that can store your RV when the weather gets chilly.
