Winterizing Travel trailers help

(1/3) > >>

nw_bowhunter:
How late in the season do you guys use your trailers before winterizing them? I was going to winterize the trailer this weekend, but my wife wants to take off with the trailer for Thanksgiving and suggested we go somewhere I can do some bowhunting...I was like you got to be kidding me...very cool. So if I wait to do it after Thanksgiving do I have any worries about frozen pipes or breakage?

I have a Prowler Classic.. I'm a green horn when it comes to RV's

Thanks for the help

Wea300mag:
I always winterized mine after the last use which was usually late Sept or early Oct. Since you live in Seattle you might be able to pull it off, just keep an eye on the forcasted temps.

Curly:
You should be fine.  My wife and I used to always go pheasant hunting on Thanksgiving in Eastern Washington so I never winterized it until after Thanksgiving.  You really only have to worry if the temps get below freezing for extended periods, which they rarely due in the Puget Sound area.

Thanks Guys....we may head toward Winston...

I use mine all winter long and have used it in temps as low as single digits. upon returning home I remove the hot water tank plug, open all the facets and blow out all lines with my air compressor thru the water hook up hose connection.  I then blow out all p-traps in the sinks and shower. basically eliminating all water in the trailer.  just make sure the hot water tank is drained. the on demand pump will not adequately drain it enough to prevent water damage.  the anti freeze stuff is too much of a pain to flush out before each use.
