hunkaman Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 hi and welcome to wonderful world of toya;'s i really have nothing to offer on your model number question. as far as the anti freeze/winterizing issue : admittedly, i am not a long time motorhome owner, ( just over a year ), but everyone i have met all speak of using rv anti freeze in the rigs. i can't imagine NOT using it as far north as maine and new york, i am sure some one at the forum may weigh in on your question with more info and good advice than i have offered. any way, good luck and enjoy. joe from dover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIPAL Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Even though you have blown out the water lines and to be on the safe side, I would use the RV blend anti freeze. For sure, I woud ensure that the toilet valve is completely emptied of water. After losing two myself, I installed a flex line to the toilet allowing me to disconnect the line and empty the valve.

Allan Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I own a Sandtana Phoenix I brought into Washington State. After what seemed like an eternity at the licensing agency it was finally titled with Sandtana as the manufacturer and Phoenix as the model, Toyota is nowhere on the title.
