Waking Up the 5th Wheel
Well I spent 1:30 Minutes Waking up the 5th Wheel
Drained the Pink Stuff, rinsed out the system, Vacuumed out the Hot Water Tank with a small Dewalt Shop Vac.
Got Most of the Debris out of the Tank left from the Anode Rod, had 6 1/2 Months to dry out, pretty successful.
Left a wee bit of Bleach in the Lines, will drain in two days, and Flush.
Will be ready for the 1st Shake down Cruise for the year Next Weekend.
Not going too Far about 55 Miles, Girls Weekend.
Also checked the Tire Pressure, Wheel Bearings are to be done next year.
Now on to the Truck, increase the TP, and put the 5th Whl back in, then put the Chrome Hub Caps back on.

Use Vodka next winter instead of bleach, less need for solid flush to wake up

Yep! Exciting times ahead! Good prep and preventative maintenance make for trouble free travels later.

As long as you don’t have to wake up critters that over wintered in your rig, you should be good to go. Hopefully your batteries are also good and ready for the season.
