Winterization question

I have a 2011 Allegro Bus 40QXP. I live in Virginia and had it winterized by a service center. I am planning a trip to Florida and will have to dewinterize and rewinterize it. My question is if I don't use the washer, dishwasher and ice maker, do they need to be rewinterized. Thanks for the advice.

Unless you cut off the water supply to the ; washer, dishwasher and ice maker ; before you de-winterize they will have to be re-winterized .

It’s a heck of a lot cheaper to rewinterize them than to not do so and be wrong.

I suggest it's a good time to learn how to DIY.
Many folks just use an air compressor and blow the lines out. There are some nuances with the fridge if you have an icemaker. Also I have a special procedure for my Spendide washer/dryer.

Plenty of threads about this and also plenty of help if you have questions.
