Just do it the same way nothing different, after I winterize my coach I open the bypass valves and then I'm ready for water in the spring. For some reason I get antifreeze back in my water heater (Think it come back through my holding tank hose). And I re-drained it while antifrezing. Run the...

My landing gear is working when not under load and as soon I put it under load it makes a ratcheting noise and the bar doesn’t move like it’s stripped or the gears aren’t engaging?
