There is more to winterizing a specific model than can be explained in an e-mail. But I will give you the basics. 1. Drain all water. Open fresh tank drain as well as black and grey tanks, remove water heater drain plug, open low point drains and all faucets. 2. By-pass water heater with factory installed by-pass (if equipped) or install temporary by-pass. 3. Use factory installed fresh tank by-pass or install temporary by-pass. 4. Close faucets and low point drains. 5. Turn on fresh water pump and open each cold faucet one at a time until you see anti-freeze. Then repeat with hot water faucets. Be sure to include any water lines to Ice maker, washer dryer or dishwasher that might be in the RV. 6. Allow a small amount of ant-freeze to run in each sink to fill p-traps and enough to enter holding tanks.

Owner's manuals are usually very generic and do not specify exactly where these things are located. Find a service center that guarantees their work. Remeber most service warranties state 90 days ot 3000 mi. You will prbably exceed the 90 days before you put water in the system.
