As winter approaches, it’s essential to begin preparing your Airstream trailer for the colder months ahead. Proper Airstream winterizing is crucial to ensure your trailer remains in optimal condition throughout the harsh winter.
One of the first steps in this process is to schedule a professional service to perform a water blowout. This procedure will remove all water from your plumbing lines, helping prevent any freezing that could lead to costly damage.
Additionally, consider insulating any exposed pipes and checking your antifreeze levels. Make sure that your windows and doors are sealed tight to stop drafts and conserve heat.
Don’t forget about the tires; make sure they are inflated properly and consider using tire covers. Taking these precautions now will give you peace of mind and ensure that your Airstream is ready for safe travel once spring rolls around. Winterizing not only preserves your trailer but also enhances its longevity, allowing you many more adventurous journeys in the future.
Important Steps To Complete A Proper Water Blowout
- Drain the fresh water storage tanks. Turn on all the faucets and blow out all water lines and water heater storage tank and let them drain until the water stops flowing. Frozen water can damage lines.
- Drain gray water (shower/sink water) tanks. Always empty the black water tank first, then the gray water tank. Only do so at approved dump stations.
- Close the cold and hot water valves at the water heater.
- We blow out all water lines with compressed air. We use this method so you won’t have the taste of antifreeze.
- Never use automobile antifreeze; it is poisonous and should not be introduced to your water lines. RV antifreeze is non-toxic.
- Pour RV antifreeze into each of the sinks (to keep the P-traps from freezing) tub, and toilet (to prevent ice from forming)
