Winterizing In A Travel Trailer

I will be storing my Northline Travel Trailer in Mt.Pleasant,SC from the end of January to the end of May. There are a few days when it gets into the 20's and some in the low 30's for a few hours. The highs range from 42-70 F. The coldest times are around 4 AM to 6 AM. The trailer is a four season trailer and water lines are enclosed. I will be draining all tanks a few days before I take the RV into storage. I need to know some opinions on whether to winterize for Feb and March. Since this will be my first time to do this I would like to hear what RV'ers have to say.

For a couple of dollars worth of RV antifreeze why take any chances.
Please take a look at the Winterization Guide in the HOM.

If there's ANY chance of sub-freezing temps, you need to winterize. If you don't you can end up with expensive repair bills.

If you visit weatherspark.com you can review historical lows which have been well below freezing in January and February.

Winterizing isn't too hard a process. It may go faster with two people, one managing the siphoning of antifreeze, the other turning on and off faucets. Should not take more than 20-30 minutes the first time, and will get easier once you have experience.

Winterizing can easily be done by one person. I bring along a 5 gallon bucket and pour my antifreeze into that. Go inside, start the pump and have at it. I do this in the storage yard at the end of our season. Before pumping in the antifreeze, I use air pressure (40 psi) to blow out the lines.
