What am I preventing from happening when I winterize?
Let's talk about everything that could happen if you don't winterize your RV in freezing weather.
-
Water Lines and Fittings
No matter what kind of pipes or fittings your RV has, if there is water left in the lines and it freezes, it can expand and cause them to crack or break. The worst part is, you never know exactly where it could happen. If the break is in an easy-to-access spot, the repair might be quick and simple. However, it could just as easily happen behind a wall or cabinet, making it much harder to find and fix. On top of that, a hidden leak could cause water damage inside your RV before you even realize there is a problem.
-
Hot water tank & water pump
Between your hot water tank and water pump, the last thing you want is a crack or break caused by freezing temperatures. But the damage can go beyond just a cracked line. Freezing water can also damage the mechanical components that keep your hot water running and your water pump working properly. What might seem like a small problem can turn into a much bigger and more expensive repair.
-
Faucets and shower heads
Your faucets and shower heads are another area you don't want to overlook when winterizing your RV. If water is left inside the faucet, shower valve, or outdoor shower, freezing temperatures can cause the internal parts to crack or break. This can lead to leaks that may not be noticeable until you turn the water back on in the spring. Even something as simple as a cracked faucet or shower head can turn into an unexpected repair.
Prices vary by location.
