Noob Alert - Winterizing 2003 TS

[Dan_public]

Hi. Noobie Alert! This is the first year that I'm winterizing our 2003 TS. It has a Hydrohot, so that may complicate things a bit.

I'm fuzzy on this, but using the pic of our water bay below for reference, does this look correct:

1. Turn off hydro hot.
2. Drain water from water tank (marked "Drain here?")
3. Disconnect street inlet hose (marked "Antifreeze in here?").
4. Attach short hose to the street inlet hose and shove the other end into a bottle of RV water line antifreeze.
5. Start water pump.
6. Open hot and cold water valves in kitchen and bathroom, and in water bay until pink antifreeze flows out.

Is this correct? Missing steps? Anything to watch out for in general? Specific to a Hydrohot?

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Dan.

Dan, looks right... Really pretty simple process. I open just one faucet at a time and cold then hot to ensure both lines are full of the pink stuff before moving to the next one. Don't forget the toilet line and sprayer hose. I also remover my water filters before hand. Also make sure you ran some pink stuff into your drain traps. Last item, I make sure I have some pink stuff in the gray and black tanks so I don't have water sitting against my dump valves.

Don't forget the drain trap from the washing machine. Make sure the manifold is all pink in lines. Run some anti freeze thru washing machine, also the ice machine in the ref if you have one..

Folks,

Thanks for the feedback.

Today I went up to where the TS is stored and started the winterization process. The fresh, gray, and black water tanks are drained. And pink antifreeze is in the sink drains, and the gray and black water tanks. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't find the water pump so that the antifreeze can be pumped into the water lines.

The coach's docs show a schematic of the waterlines, but do not show the location of the water pump. Anyone have an idea where it's located in a 2003 TS with a Hydrohot?

Thanks,

Dan.

p.s. When there is a Hydrohot installed, there is no water water heater tank.
