    I did open my washer and dryer faucet to see if anti=freeze came out which it did. Only problem was I had to get a bucket, it kind of sprayed all over the place. Had a little mess to clean up but was not to bad. Rather be sure they are winterized don't want any frozen water lines.

    You still have water going to those water lines so I would include those in your winterizing.

    Question....My last 5th wheel did not have water lines hanging down about 3 inches ( with red and blue caps). Do I need to remove those caps and drain those lines when winterizing? If so, do I leave the caps off until antifreeze flows from those lines?

    Those lines w/red & blue caps would be your "low point" drains. You should start with those. Let them drain to empty and then start pumping A-freeze thru the KantLeak switch (using the hot water heater and fresh water tank bypass setting.) You fresh water tank will have another drain on it. And the Hot Water heater will have a drain on it too. You will not want to put A-freeze into your fresh water tank or heater. Just drain it and perhaps blow them out also.

    Ok guys , I'm reading all the posts here and it's some great stuff. I Just picked up my 2016 313rtls TT today. They have a great diagram to follow. Couple questions though. When I follow the steps for winterization, how do I get the antifreeze pumped in from the jug. My old trailer had the siphone. Do I just cut a piece of garden hose and connect it to the city hook up. And I guess it acts like a suction? Also ill probably never dry camp but what are some other modes on there for. Can't think of them all right now but, there's winterization, dry camp, city and something else. Not sure what I would use last one for. I noticed the are 2 ways to turn on the pump. One inside the trailer and one outside. Do they both do the same thing. And Is it just for convience?

    I bought a 2' section of clear hose from Lowes and added a male garden hose attachment to the end. Attach to the city water connection and other end goes in antifreeze jug.
