I just bought a new D290RLT, when winterizing do you fill the lines with the marine RV anti-freeze or just blow the lines out with air. Also I have an ice maker on the fridge what do you do about that line. Do you leave it plugged in or use the battery disconnect.

I use air to blow out as I use my 5W on and off all year. Can't address the ice makers as I don't have one.

Thanks, I had a Rockwood TT it was easy you could just open the low point drain then crack the faucets and it would pull a vacuum and suck all the water out of the system including the hot water heater. I left it connected to power year around, but I have read on here where several disconnect the battery. I figured out the ice maker I will just add a "T" and a valve and blow it out.

I have always used air, don't forget the outdoor shower and the toilet flush valve. Lost power earlier this month with temps in the mid 20's, froze & split my heated hose, found a better replacement, farm & ranch hose.

I blow mine out, then open the low point drains and tank drain, drain the water heater, blow it out again, and put antifreeze in the traps. Never had a problem unless I miss something. Also, congrats on the new rig! Safe travels!

I do both, blow the lines out and run antifreeze after. I also can't address the ice maker as I don't have one, but I've heard chatter on it before that the owners manual will have winterizing instructions.
