Went camping this weekend for the last time this year and figured that I would winterize the plumbing system before leaving the campground. Here is what I did (the campground had no running water available so I knew I would not be able to use the black tank washout).
1. Ran the freshwater tank dry making sure that I had sufficient amounts in each of the waste tanks to get a good flush.
2. Pulled the anode out of the hot water heater - got a good flush.
3. Opened all of the drains that I could, but not much ran out.
4. Removed the panel and turned three valves to bypass the hot water heater.
5. Found the syphon hose and valve for winterizing. Placed in antifreeze jug. Turned on water pump.
6. Nothing happens!!!!!
7. Tried all of the valves again to make sure that each one turned 90 degrees which all had done. Not sure at this point if each valve is turned where it should be.
8. Dumped the black tank and two gray tanks at the sanitation station.
Any ideas as to why I could not get antifreeze through the water pump? I'm afraid that the instructions that came with the unit are quite incomplete.
