Antifreeze syphon hose

[xcrewchiefx]

Hi gang, just bought a 2017 25RL trail runner.. I need help locating the antifreeze syphon hose as I need to put her down for the coming winter. Currently traveling the country in our TC but looking fwd to this unit next year.

I don't have your rig, but you should find it where the water pump is.

I took a section of regular garden hose, and put the appropriate ends needed to attach to fittings for winterization. Drop it into the gallon jug of RV anti-freeze and away it goes.

Where/what did you attach the hose? Location?

If you have the same control valve as us, it is an Anderson Valve and it has a position for winterizing. But if you do not, as on our previous rig, I had to use the water pump. I could attach short piece of water hose to the inlet side of the water pump and pump the anti-freeze thru the lines.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I don't.

Not familiar with your layout, but if you can access the water pump, remove the inlet hose from the water tank and attach a section of garden hose to it. Use that hose in a container of antifreeze to draw it into the plumbing via the water pump. Our earlier TT didn't have a UDC or fancy valves, so that was how I had to do it from under the kitchen sink. Make sure you have the water heater bypassed or you'll use a lot more AF than needed.

Sometimes, the pump and antifreeze hose are behind a kitchen drawer. Try running the pump and open drawers and cabinets one at a time.

Thanks, hope I don't have to go that far.

Thanks, will do

That would be a last resort. My guess is there is an uptake hose with a shut-off valve already attached to the intake side of the pump and a valve to isolate the water tank while pumping AF into the plumbing. In the event there is no bypass system for the water heater, it’s simple to install a kit for that and not very expensive, either. Had to do it for the TT we had years ago.
