We just winterized our 2018 Solitude 310GK which I thought went OK after a couple times viewing the online video on winterizing a Grand Design with a Nautilus P1 System - my wife opened all the faucets, shower and toilet till they were pink, I emptied the water filter, opened the low point drain, pulled the hot water plug and checked the fresh water tank was empty.
BUT the Grand Design video I was watching to learn how to do this, put the bottle of RV antifreeze on the ground.
My pump would not suck the RV antifreeze up that far however. I had to hold the jugs of RV antifreeze (used 1.5 gallons) up to the level of the water inlet in the Nautilus P1 system to get the pump to suck the antifreeze into the system. Do I need a new pump or ???
ALSO I was reading the manual on the topic (after the fact) and on page 106 of the Solitude manual (Rev 10/2018) it says I also need to "blow out the black tank flush line with <70psi compressed air". Really???? I drained the tank thoroughly.
And on pages 122-125, the manual discusses positioning various valves handles at 45 degrees for 10 seconds. Again, not in the video???
Thanks for any comments.
