The unit was winterized from the dealership, we picked it up about 3 weeks ago. We are thinking of heading south for a while. I went through the de-winterization process (pretty straightforward) and was walking through the manual to winterize for when we get back (it will still be cold in NH!). The manual says to intake the antifreeze through the city water intake. That didn't work. Took out the drawers, looked at the layout of the water pump etc. I "think" there is a T valve behind one of the wooden supports on the left side that would allow me to run a line from there to the antifreeze to winterize again. Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track here?
Thanks,
Mark

My new 23TE was winterized by the dealer. This is our first RV & I'm as green as they come, but doing my best to absorb everything. I understand the 2 valve water heater bypass system being in the winter position. I see the anti-freeze port in your photos, which is probably a quicker & easier way to winterize. I do not know the purpose of or why that silver valve on the inlet side of the water pump was in the shut-off position. What circumstances would require the pump to be shut off from the fresh water tank? When examining my rig, I also saw the strainer on the pump full of water, which is concerning because we had many days well below zero this winter (down to -25 F).
