Re: question about whether winterizing is necessary

Hi Debbie:

When we had to winter up north, NJ, I used a shop vacuum to suck all the water from the lines. Seemed to work OK.

Question:

I have a 2022 Ranger 12 but since I purchased it just last March, this is the first winter I've owned it.? It's garaged in the tidewater area of Virginia so it's protected from rain and snow, but still subjected to some cold temperatures.? We get many nights and some days below freezing December through early March.? My question is: If I have drained all the water from my camper, do I still need to blow out the residual moisture and add antifreeze, or is draining enough?? I can understand how ice expanding in lines and tanks full of water could rupture them, but would a small amount of residual water damage pipes and lines? I ask because I'm not handy, and my dealer is an hour's drive away and charges $200 for the service. Better safe than sorry, or probably not necessary? Thanks!
