Heated water pipes to maintain the right temperature

 After a long summer of caravanning in the great outdoors, your caravan certainly deserves a long winter's rest! However, if you want it to return to performing as well next summer as it did this summer, then it is vital that your RV is properly protected against freezing. Not only is it a good habit to get into before you go to bed for the winter, but it will ultimately maximise its functional life and save you money in the long run.

There are a few very important tools and supplies you will need to properly freeze proof your RV. Some of the items on this list are already installed on your RV, but for RVs without them, you will need to purchase an aftermarket kit to fully winterise your RV without having to worry about it all winter.

Antifreeze for caravans or boats
Find a non-toxic RV-specific antifreeze that won't damage your RV or the environment (we recommend propylene glycol RV antifreeze as it is the least toxic type). You should expect to use 2-3 gallons, but it may vary depending on the size and layout of your caravan.

Tank cleaning wand (if your tank does not have an internal flushing system)
Some motorhomes come with an installed flushing system; if yours doesn't have this, a tank cleaning wand will do the job and they are usually very affordable.

Water pump converter kit or pipe
This will allow you to connect to the inlet end of the pump and pump RV antifreeze into your water system.

A simple tool for attaching and removing the drain plug
Now that you have what you need, it's time to start the practical steps to freeze proof your RV.

Steps to winterise your caravan
Many people choose to have their caravan winterised by a certified technician. Whether you decide to do the freeze protection yourself or have someone else do it, it's good to know exactly how the process works so you can be sure it's done correctly.

Deep clean your grey and black water tanks.
This is a key step before winterisation as it will help remove any stuck solid waste and TP from the black tank and break down any grease and oil that may be stuck to the sensors in the grey tank. Deep cleaning is an important maintenance habit to perform twice a year or every 3-5 dumps.

Caravan heated drain hose
The most important piece of equipment, the caravan rv sewer hose heated, is indispensable! The TPE threaded hose is flexible, resistant to ultra-low temperatures and will return to its original state under heavy pressure. The TPE threaded hose is flexible and resistant to ultra-low temperatures and will recover under heavy pressure. When camping in winter, it's easy to encounter icy conditions. A caravan heated drain hose keeps waste water from being drained and reduces hygiene problems. Choose a rv sewer hose with self-regulating temperature protection down to -20°F and a built-in thermostatic heating source to keep the drain water flowing without overheating.

The work you put in now will save you time and money in the future, and your caravan will be thanking you next summer!
