Pat-- Click the search engine above and type in winterizing and you will come up with about 27 threads that discuss this subject! It's a popular one this time of year especially! If you can't get the info from the multiple threads PM or email me and I'll give you the pattern I go through to get mine done! I just did mine last Sunday and now it's warmed up again and I want to use it! Figures!! There's really no problem winterizing and de-winterizing the Monty. As many will say--"Just head the M TV south and stop when there aren't anymore freezing temps!" I'd like to do that but have a new grandson here in Omaha and want to see him grow over the winter!
