Another Winterizing Help Thread

We need information on winterising our 2021 Thor Chateau. Could you provide step by step. We have a tankless water heater.

Your question means you seek specific steps.

Step 1. Find or obtain your Owners Manual Winterizing procedure
Step 2. Read and follow step by step
Step 3. Add or post any question on what is not clear
Step 4. Take pictures to get best answers

You can have two RV exact same make, model and year but build may be different and steps to winterize may vary.

We tried step by step in the Manuel but our pump won’t prime to pull the antifreeze thru the lines. Is there another way to put it thru?

It would also help to post a picture of the supply lines and valves around the water pump. Here's a picture of my Hurricane 31D - if you can post something similar it would help us see which valves you need to open or close in order to get the suction tube to pump antifreeze through your water pump.

A step in the right direction. Model helps a lot as someone may have exact coach?

If you can use your sink fixtures to get fresh water, then your pump is fine, you can't get antifreeze in because you have not properly set the valves and no one can tell you without pictures or exact model of your coach.

Does your manual say anything about the option to blowout system with Air or does it require antifreeze?

I have the option to do both. I don't actually use the pink stuff but I have simulated using pumping in a gallon of fresh water from a plastic container. I blow all of the water out per my manual.
