Several RVers with the Influence 3503GK are seeking advice on winterizing the pump located beneath the bathroom sink.

Quite sure all of your winterization is done through your nautilus panel

I would seek hands on advice or Google an exact YouTube tutorial vs words on this forum

Something that important I wouldn’t take for granted

Quite sure your tankless water heater may need special attention

Good luck
 
I Agree with the above post.
You would draw in RV antifreeze through the Nautilus panel utilizing the water pump so that is the first thing to get it. Then the pump will push it through the system as you turn on faucets, flush toilet, ect. The key thing is have pink antifreeze come out of every possible place including outside quick connect water ports. 3 gallons will be more than enough, with practice it may only take a gallon to 1.5 g.
Did you check the owner's manual? If you have the tankless water heater, definitely put RV antifreeze through it. Don't trust a blowout only.

What’s the pump for? Is it your fresh water pump or is it a waste pump for the sink? If it’s your fw pump, follow the advice above. If it’s a waste pump I would pour antifreeze down the sink until I was sure it was full.

We have the same coach. We are wondering why it is there..we know the sink drains into it, but it becomes a giant stinky mess. And very hard to clean. Why doesn't the sink just drain into the gray tank. Can anyone give advice??

The sink moves with the slide, can’t be hard plumbed
