Oh SPRING Where Art Thou.........

Wasn't yesterday the first day of Spring?  Didn't we just go camping this past weekend and wear shorts and t-shirts?  And why is the forecast low for tonight 22 degrees?  Something is wrong here isn't it?  

Happy Thursday afternoon.  As you can guess from the opening of this post, it is going to get cold here tonight.  Rob had to re-winterize the Pod this afternoon when he got home from school.  He says it only takes a few minutes.  

Step 1.  Remove the low point drain plugs....



Step 2.  Let the water drain out of the low point drains......


Step 3.  Remove the anode rod from the hot water heater (note: Be sure to open the pressure relief valve first!), and stand back....



Step 4.  As a final safety measure, pour some of the "pink stuff" RV Anti-freeze down the drains for the grey, and black tanks.  (We don't use the fresh water tank.)

Oh well, it won't take but a few minutes next week when it warms up to reverse the process.  Until next time, stay safe (and warm) out there.....-R,T,&J.
