It is simple to get sanitizing solution into the fresh tank.

1. Switch the water heater bypass lever in convenience center to bypass the W/H.

2. Put 1/2 cup of bleach in a gallon jug, fill the rest of the jug with water.

3. Connect a short siphon hose to the winterizing connection, put other end into the jug.

4. Switch lever in convenience center from normal to power fill.

5. Go in your rig and turn on the 12v water pump.

6. The water pump will suck the bleach water out of the jug and pump it into the fresh tank. (make sure the connection at the winterizing point is well sealed, otherwise is will not suck the solution out of the jug)

7. When the jug is empty, turn off the 12v pump, disconnect the siphon hose.

8. Switch lever from power fill to normal.

9. Hook up a water hose to the city water connection and use power fill to add more water to the fresh tank.

10. Use the 12v pump to run bleach solution from fresh tank through all of the plumbing fixtures until you can smell bleach at these points.

11. Turn off water pump and let solution remain in system for several hours. If you want to do a thorough sanitize of the F/W tank, take the 5er out for a drive to slosh around in the tank for a while.

12. Drain any remaining bleach solution from the F/W tank and fill with clean potable water and use 12v pump to flush out the plumbing.

13. Done!
