@RCRVadventures3 years agoRoss, this is probably the best winterizing video I have ever seen and I’ve seen quite a few. I even posted one a year ago and I’m not ashamed to say yours is much better and more informative. You have an amazing talent for these RV tip videos and I’m so glad we found your channel. Great job friend! ...79

@
@des76383 years agoThank you for your service. Good teacher!
@
@picwick572 years agoYou offer good tips! I bought a new to us 5th wheel & checked various videos on tips & tricks winterizing. I am not a newbie to this but figured never too old to learn new tricks. One step I had never done on my past rvs or motorhomes was depress the city water valve to allow antifreeze to ooze out, and that, caused me to order & replace the valve because the o-ring dislodged itself and would no longer hold back pressure.I attempted to dismantle original valve but the plastic guide pin just would not dislodge itself from core to remove spring and re & re the going new was a safer option. So BEWARE to all who decide to depress city water valve during winterizing process, this could happen to you as well. ...1
@
@goldenyearstraveling82483 years agoRoss, really great video on winterizing your Grand Design Imagine TT. We have a 2020 Grand Design Imagine 2400BH TT and I have watched many videos and printed off numerous info sheets for winterizing but none compare to your well-presented video. Thanks ...7

@michaelcertain4153 years agoI've been RVing for over 20 years and didn't think I would find this particularly useful, but boy was i wrong. There is good information in here for even the seasoned RVer. 3

@imatt65662 years agoWell done Sir. No more Water heater bypass mysteries!!!
@
@wswerv13 years agoGreat video. I just winterized my Park Model in Nova Scotia. I also use the antifreeze method. Good idea with the valves on low point drains! 1
@
@bobbyathol47206 months agoThis was my first time winterizing my RV and let me tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH. Everything you said I did and I was ecstatic when everything worked. Awesome video PRO 1
@
@josephmeierjr53563 years agoRoss, excellent video on winterizing. Going to winterize ours now in the next week or so, Starting to get a bit colder in PA now. I really like the details, no matter how small, that you suggest. I like your idea of putting a paper towel in the hot water drain plug mouth and paper towels under the facets and shower nozzle so antifreeze does not stain the sinks and shower. Thanks for the great tips! ...2
@
@maryreagan36856 months agoThis is my 1st time winterizing my camper. This video is the absolute best resource I have found!! Thank you so much for being so thorough! The diagram for bypassing the water heater was so helpful! I feel like I can not only winterize the camper, but I UNDERSTAND why and how things work so much better! I look forward to other videos!! ...1

@
@raydeason18692 years agoAwesome presentation and simple to follow. Quite impressive.
@
@apollocoio32 years agoLots of good info packed in just 21 minutes! Saw this a year ago just before we bought our first RV, and now this is going to be a must-watch every October as a refresher. A couple of other things that we plan to do once a month while the RV is at the storage lot: 1) Run the generator about 10-15 minutes to circulate the gas and oil. 2) Drive a short distance, not more than a couple of miles for the same reason for the engine, and also to avoid developing flat spots on the tires for staying parked too long. ...3

@4x4-RV3 years agoRoss. Such a good video! I learned a bunch. I’ve been an RV owner for the past 20 years 1994 Skyline Aljo 22 ft. Used and used it. Every summer. Living in Wyoming it’s critical to get the winterizing right! I thought I new it all until I watched your tutorial. Recently we purchased an upgrade replacement to our older trailer. 2008 Arctic Fox 25R. Same size as your Grand Design. It has features that the older trailer doesn’t have. Heated tanks. Black tank flush. Slide. After winterizing it I watched your video and quickly realized that I wasn’t done. I ordered the air hose fittings as soon as you identified them. Thanks!!! I just finished blowing out the fresh water fill, black tank flush, and park water hookup. You can probably guess what happened……Yup, I blew all the antifreeze out of the cold side. mess 🤪. Went ahead and replaced it. We get down to -45 occasionally every year. By the way, my water lines are clear so I can see where the antifreeze is. Anyway, great video! Your explanations are very clear and sequential which is important. Another note, the bypass on my water heater is a single valve system. Cold side of the water heater. There must be a check valve on the hot outlet. Thanks again. Sterling ...4

@bearswife1112 years agoThanks Ross, another great video. We bought our first rv this year and my husband died suddenly this summer. Your videos have taught me so much as I learn to do it all on my own. Going to winterize this week and your videos are invaluable! Thanks so much. ...3

@ericwilcox24423 years agoI think you already know that I use your vids to winterize my 2018 2150RB. Just did it this morning. I arrived home yesterday from my last trip of the year (5 days in Virginia Beach) and it was supposed to go down to 28 degrees where I live in MD. I ended up putting a space heater in the camper so I could sleep without worrying about anything freezing. It's not a problem anymore. As always, I appreciate you doing what you do for us. ...1

@benclaase81816 months agoAwesome video great details , very helpful for us newbies.
@
@brianbird20022 years agoThanks very much for a great video. Verry clear to flow and understand. One comment that should be added, is when you blow out the City Water line, you need to turn the value back to the Fresh Tank Fill. The reason for this, is when you get to the step to hook your antifreeze line and you turn the water pump on, the antifreeze will pour out from the City Water connection. ...

@derfreklats79213 years agoHey Ross, After winterizing my TT’ers, motor home and now my GD Imagine , I’am glad I watched this vid. a couple of extra steps to do and I hope I nailed it. I air compressed it and anti freezed it and put it away until mid April. Thanks, and STILL a great channel. ...4
