If it has an ice maker and water dispenser just be sure to run some water through the unit when you do your regular winterizing. Next spring change the little water filter when you dewinterize it. Easy peazy.
I turn mine off and leave the doors cracked so the inside can get ventilation. I remove the ice maker solenoid valve and store it inside a heated area so it can not freeze. Some people use antifreeze to protect it instead.
Personally, when you winterize. I just use 20lb air to blow out the complete MH Potable water system. I disconnect the water line to the ice maker solenoid with the ice maker arm up and let it drain out. You can also blow air thru the ice maker/water in the door line, just press the button with a cup to get water until you get air, then leave all the doors cracked to get circulation.
Don't forget the Washing machine and dishwasher either. They both store a little bit of water and need blowing out or draining.
