Dewinterizing

Hi All! Just bought a new 2022 Amerilite 268HB. Can someone walk me through the dewinterizing process for this model? Thanks!

You are basically just flushing the "pink" out. You could open the low point drains (under the trailer, red and blue lines with screw in plugs on the ends) and drain it into a bucket if you don't want extra fluid in your holding tanks (Open the faucets to allow air to displace the lines while draining). Hook up your fresh water, cap off low points, and flush each fitting (sinks, shower, toilet, etc). Don't forget to put water in your fresh tank, and run the water pump to flush the pump out also. You could actually use the pump to do the whole job if you want. Your water heater is most likely in bypass. This is the valve positions on the back of your water heater (you may have to pull a panel to see it, if you can't see it through a cabinet door). Is best to leave the plug out of the water heater (access from outside, bottom of tank). Open the bypass to allow water to run out of the plug hole. This helps to get sediment out of the tank instead of it plugging up your aerators on the sink faucets. Replace the plug, open the pop-off (to vent air as tank fills). Fill your water heater tank until water comes out of the pop-off, then close pop-off, look for leaks around the tank. Leave the water heater valves out of bypass and you should be good. Hope this helps a little.
