Did you do your spray ports and low point drains. Also dump several cups in each drain. On ours you have to use air to evacuate the fresh water fill. Also have you drained the hot water heater. I have an Imagine and use about 4 gallons.

No sure why you'd have to purge the lines with air first. Without the pump running nothing is being pushed through the lines. Yes, there will be a slow mixture of water and anti-freeze, but if one is going from faucet to faucet I doubt that'd be an issue. With the pump on and siphoning from an anti-freeze jug one should be able to simple run each faucet until anti-freeze comes out. I've done it this way for years, maybe I've just been lucky. Once complete I did open the low point drains and the hot water tank was also drained.

When I was looking to setup a hose to siphon the anti-freeze I was really surprised to find the various pieces to be rather expensive, well more than I expected. I thought what the heck and walked over to the garden center and found a cheap garden hose for $8.99. So, I simply chopped off a small section from with the male connector to use and for some crazy reason I kept the other end. When I was making the rounds to each of the faucets I remembered the washer connections and thought to myself "Perfect, I've got just what I need". I cut about three feet from the female end and used the empty gallon jug I had. So, yup I did think of the washer. :-)

Sounds like, as someone else said, you’ve got it all covered. Someone asked, but I didn’t notice if you specifically answered: outside quick connects??? We have two on our little trailer.
Funny story, this year I used way too much-on the driveway! Plugged in the quick connect hose so it would be ready, and didn’t notice the little wire bale was engaged to keep the nozzle open. Couldn’t understand why the pump kept sucking the pink stuff instead of coming to pressure and shutting off argh and duh!!

Oh, and one other thing. Last year, we winterized in a big hurry because we used the trailer right up to the day before we put her in storage. We drove away with me worrying that I’d short-changed the toilet (barely pink). Had no problem come spring. Even a little anti freeze will keep it slushy.Last edited by Houndbb; 11-11-2019 at 05:20 AM.

Ramcneal, The 12v water pump does not feed the fresh water tank fill so it seems it would have water in the fill line unless you blow it out by setting the camper to fill the tank then blow out the line. Also I’m not sure how antifreeze backs up to the hose attachment area so I always open all faucets and low drain lines and blow them out at the water hose attachment area before pumping antifreeze. I don’t know if I’m right, but that’s why I use air on the lines. No leaking pipes after 2 winters.
