Water heater

[Inspector]

Just getting started traveling in our 3121. I don’t want to winterize the rig because we plan on traveling this winter. It will however sit still in storage for a few weeks at a time. My question is if I drain the hot water tank only, will I be ok with everything thing else? I live in nc. Mild winters but it does drop down below 32 degrees on occasions.

Once you get a routine established it only takes an hour or so to winterize and no time to get it ready to use again.. Drain fresh tank and low point drains and water heater and washer lines and outdoor hose lines and open faucets to let lines drain. Connect compressor to city water inlet and close all outlets to blow each out with compressor by opening one a time. Flush toilet to empty and drain line to toilet. Drain water pump and lines. Assuming you have drained black and gray tanks, add some water to black tank and rv antifreeze to keep solids from turning to rock and add some rv antifreeze to gray tanks to make sure drain lines are protected.. To reverse this, hook-up to city water inlet, open faucets to let air escape from lines and turn water on until it runs smoothly . Make sure you have filled the water heater and water pump and lines and turned off the washer connections and outside faucet. This is a simple outline and you can probably find a more detailed one elsewhere. Easy to do this rather than risk damage. A helper to turn the faucets on and off saves a lot of time. You can train your wife to do this in no time.
