Winterizing a camper/RV

Campers are an expensive investment. In a travel trailer, besides having maintenance on items that keep you rolling on the road, you also have to properly maintain and care for indoor/outdoor plumbing and electrical. To prevent damage to plumbing that may have little or no insulation during cold weather, you need to “winterize” your camper/RV. Winterizing is removing all water from the plumbing. Watch as we show the different steps. We used an air compressor, metal blow-out plug, 1/2″ ratchet, 1 1/16″ socket, RV antifreeze, and a generator. We brought our generator to power our air compressor because there is no electricity provided at the storage lot. It is also a good idea to check your anode rod in your water heater at this time.
