You should winterize the camp from November through March.
(Whenever there is the slightest possibility of freezing temperatures)
Arriving
Close all faucets in the camp, privy, shower and outdoor sink.
Close all 3 outdoor faucets:
- Porch side of camp
- Back side across from propane tank
- Air conditioner side of privy (Be sure this faucet is closed. It is low to the ground and easy to miss.)
Turn water on. The main is on the porch side of the camp.
Leaving
Turn the water main off.
Open all faucets and flush toilets after the water is off.
Inside faucets:
- Kitchen sink
- Lavatory in bathroom
- Both lavatories in privy
- Flush all 3 toilets
Put anti-freeze (3 tablespoons) in each lavatory and the bowl of all 3 toilets.
Outside:
Shower – Open all 6 valves on the pipe tree and unscrew the garden hose from pipe connection.
Outdoor sink – Open sink taps and open valves behind the sink.
Open all 3 hose faucets:
- Porch side of the camp
- Back side of camp across from the propane tank, unscrew hose from faucet
- Air conditioner side of privy. This is the most important one as it will allow the whole system to drain.
