We have a 2020 MK2670 and it also "features" this screwball docking station. I presumed that the term "docking" meant that the structure should be removed and thrown from a dock and replaced with something better; however, what we are going to do is cut a 6" hole in the thang near the area where I need access to the winterization valve. For a self-closing "door" that covers this access hole, I'm going to cut-out a semi-circular shape from some thin material and use that. I say "semi-circular" because there will be a tab sticking out from the side of the otherwise circular "door". I'm going to run a screw through this tab right above the circular opening and let this door pivot from that. Gravity should keep the thing pretty much closed but I may add a latch or two. So that's the plan...we'll see how well it works this Spring. I will also be adding some rigid foam insulation to the compartment door and maybe to the docking station as well.

I'm a little confused (not unusual with me...) Is the winterization valve on the 2670 in the docking station cabinet or attached to the water pump under the sink? On the 2400BH/2800BH the system is winterized by removing a drawer in the kitchen to access the water pump and throwing a valve to draw antifreeze from 1 gallon jugs. The only thing I touch on the docking station is the blue valve ensuring it's set to city water vs fresh water fill. The bypass valve on the water heater is also turned to keep the antifreeze out of the heater.
I'm interested to know what is different in the 2670MK - thanks!

The water pump on the 2670 is inside the docking station cabinet along with the winterization valve and that length of tubing that gets stuck in the jug of RV antifreeze.

Wow. Grand Design definitely should have put a door on the side of the docking station to make winterizing and pump maintenance simpler. Having to take the station apart just to winterize is silly - or a Nautilus system should be used.
Sorry for you that you have to go through those troubles :-/
