Godog45 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 new to RV have a 83 Sandtana tilt top.. as we having some warm weather I want to re winterize it. the owner said she never put rv anti freeze in tank I noticed that the plastic lines sag a bit so the previous owners theory that all the water drains out my be false. 1. Do I close the valve and run the antifreeze thru the pump & sink? 2. How to fix siding that has started to separate here in pic? s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBeery Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 On the exterior do you have a connection for a water hose? Is there a water heater, and if so does it have a bypass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connection for a hose is handy for using compressed air to blow out your water lines. So... drain your fresh water tank, add some RV antifreeze to the tank, turn on the water pump, and run each faucet separately until you see the antifreeze then turn off. Pour maybe a cupful of the antifreeze down the drain to protect the trap. Try using only a pint or a quart of antifreeze in the tank, add more if needed. You will want to flush the tank in the spring so the less antifreeze in the tank the quicker and easier that will be. Note--RV antifreeze is not poisonous nor harmful but as much as possible you still should avoid consuming it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAatTheCape Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 the delamination is a mess. an insurance adjuster would total your rv. water has leaked in and typically frozen causing the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
