Happy time change
I was winterizing the coach today and thought that I would ask what those of you with macerators in freezing climates do to winterize.
I pump as much liquid as I can out of the black tank after I have flushed all of the water lines with antifreeze and poured antifreeze down the drains. As we know, you can not pump all of the liquid out.
I then pour about a gallon of antifreeze down the toilet and pump it out. I am hoping this amount of antifreeze mixed with the remaining liquid will be sufficient to keep the pump from freezing.
At $2.50 a gallon for antifreeze, it is worth it if I don't have to fix that system.
Any other thoughts on this besides telling me to move South?
