[QUOTE=Daleahoke;495916]Right. It's just that I read that when you de-winterize in the spring you should also santize. I guess if you are only winterized for a few months, it probably doesn't need sanitizing.[/QUOTE
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet! I don’t know the reason someone would say that, possibly to get rid of the antifreeze smell but flushing the fixtures good with plain water will work just as well and you won’t have the bleach smell/taste.Last edited by Bungy; 08-26-2023 at 09:13 PM.

the simple fix is to not sanitize and simply drink bottled water. drinking from an Rv water tank is always a crap shoot in my book.

We would also like to leave lower Michigan in freezing temps to enjoy warmer climates. But, my question for this thread is: What facility will allow me to flush the RV pipes? We use a propylene glycol/water type of antifreeze but I can assume not just any state park or other campground (like KOA) will let us flush this stuff down their drains, but maybe so.

It shouldn't be an issue as long as you're using RV antifreeze, and not ethylene glycol for vehicles.

Thanks for the comments. With all the RV'ers that travel from north to south in winter and early spring, flushing pipes has been going on somehow all the while anyway.

I make the Florida trip every year and dewinterize in Southern Georgia at a KOA with no problems. RV antifreeze is nontoxic and a typical system contains no more than 2 gallons. Never been a problem. I always carry enough to rewinterize on the way back north if weather dictates.

Appreciate that comment. In fact, we have southern Georgia or South Carolina as a destination by mid to late March. And you're right about being nontoxic and a small volume anyway.
