I likewise have owned TT`s for past several years and got our new 5er this Feb. My dewinterization was pretty much the same as my TT`s were, only difference was the residential fridge with ice maker. Had to let it cycle(make ice) several times to flush that line of antifreeze. Surprisingly the factory DID put antifreeze in the ice maker line too.

Ice makers are often not fully winterized and are damaged. Winterizing was never a problem for me. I rarely have to since moving south and farther south during winter BUT~~~ now we have a washer and dryer (separate units) and will need to research that at some point I'm sure.

Not really much to screw up except forgetting to fill the water heater before turning it on. Just leave the water heater bypassed and hook up fresh water and run every faucet and the toilet until you see clear water. And washer if you have one. After you have cleared all the faucets, turn the WH switch back to the NORMAL position and fill the water heater by opening a hot water faucet until all the air is pushed out. And run water into your fresh water tank if you want.

No different then your TT like BB TX said, We use ares in winter so no need to winterize it
it only sits for a day or 2 in the winter we live the heat on.

Once you are done draining everything else in your system open your low point drains as the pink stuff is always left there.

Here is my checklist. You will need to customize it to fit your rig.
