Independence 8295i MY2006 Winter sub zero recovery steps.

[Sandrofelisio]

Hallo you all,
I hope that opening two topic is ok with rules....
Anyway I try.

Now the winter is coming, and my RV sleeps into a covered area but not heated.
See picture below:

I don't have the owner manual and I would like to know (STEP by STEP) how to put aout all the liquids from the RV.
I'm not talking about fresh-waste-sewage water tanks (that's easy) but shower tank, cooling machinery or any other tank, tube, pipe or duct that has water inside...

The temperature here go to -20°C (-4°F) - I'm scared that water will freeze and will crack something.

I will use the RV to go skiing and so I need to know how to put the water back to use it...
Every weekend I have to put water out and in, so please help me to find a STEP sequence that I can easily follow!!

Thanks a lot you all!!!!

Sandro,

If you do not have an ice maker or a washing machine in your coach, you can use the generic instructions from the FMCA site as seen here:

I live in my rig year round and it does not get all that cold here in the Pacific Northwest...but if I stored it I would winterize mine as well. There are plenty of on-line instructions with pictures and even videos you can access on the web as well. Good luck and let us know if you still have apprehensions...

Not sure how an Independence coach has arranged its plumbing, but on my Scenic Cruiser it has drain valves for every water line on the coach. The valves are all located where the Manabloc manifold is located. You can drain all the water off through those valves. Also you have to drain your water heater. I have a ten gallon Suburban and all I do is remove the anode and the water will all drain out.
