Winterizing Hurricane 29M wtih antifreeze steps
Here's the checklist I came up with for my 2018 Hurricane 29M. Bear in mind this is my first winterization. It sounds like a lot of work but wasn't really not that bad. Other than waiting for things to drain, maybe 20 minutes. Any feedback from others would certainly be welcomed. Especially on the order which I used to try to maximize the gravity draining aspect. Note that some leave the water heater plug out until de-winterization. My objective was to return things to "normal" so that I don't forget anything if I decided to suddenly de-winterize and get the heck out of Dodge.
1) Level RV 2) Turn off water heater & let cool 3) Empty black and gray tanks 4) Remove plug from water pump inlet 5) Drain fresh water tank 6) Open city water connection 7) Open faucets to allow water to drain Outdoor kitchen sink Outside shower Inside shower Bathroom sink Kitchen sink 8) Open low point drains 9) Actuate toilet to let water drain 10) Remove water heater drain plug (15/16ths) 11) Actuate water heater bypass valves 12) Reinstall water heater drain plug 13) close faucets 14) close low point drains 15) Close fresh water tank drain valve 16) Close city water connection 17) Close fresh water tank valve near pump 18) Attach antifreeze siphon hose to pump 19) Put end of hose in antifreeze bottle 20) Turn on pump 21) Open faucets until antifreeze appears Outdoor kitchen sink Outside shower Inside shower Bathroom sink Kitchen sink Toilet 22) Pump antifreeze out of outdoor sink 23) Let some antifreez flow out low point drains 24) Remove antifreeze hose 25) Reinstall water pump inlet plug 26) Open fresh water tank valve near pump 27) After flushing lines per dewinterizing procs reverse water heater bypass valves and fill water heater.
Would love to hear comments and suggestions.
