Dang! Mister Winter is apparently coming in tonight.
I hadn't done the Winter prep yet and I'm not sure of
all the places where water can collect and freeze.
I opened the lavvy faucets and turned the pump on.
Nothing bad in the black tank, so I opened it up so
water from the sink drain lines could go there.
I found two valves near the water pump in the right
rear that led to a TEE that went through the floor.
Got both of those opened up and water is draining
out from multiple places. Told Judy it was just
running along the underside of the floor in many
directions and then down several frame members.
Opened the "pop-off" at top of water heater and
HOPE that will allow that tank to drain.
Sent Judy to WallyWorld for "pink stuff" and will
dump that into the drains.
Water pump speeded up and air came out of faucets.
Hope that will be good enough for tonight and also
tomorrow night.
Any comments? This is what I have done for our
travel trailer in the past. Have I missed any
danger spots?
Temps are forecast to get down to 28F.
We are trying to get ready to head out of town
this afternoon until tomorrow afternoon.
