Glad you got that resolved and negotiated a reasonable cost! The only winter maintenance you need to do on the ACE system is to drain the water from the air tank which you should do after each trip or two. Since you did not drive very far, you probably did not generate enough moisture to worry about it this winter.

As far as winterizing goes, I empty all the tanks, blow out the lines with my home air compressor and add RV antifreeze to all drain traps. I keep the coach hooked up to power all the time in storage and never have worried about removing the batteries. In your climate, the removal of batteries may be warranted but we just don't get that cold for extended periods here in Texas.

I know you will like the results of the ACE system when you get more of a chance to drive it. They are a really good investment and should have been a part of the original design.

Good luck!
