Living Quarter Winterization

RVs and Living Quarter Trailers need to be winterized to protect the plumbing and other systems from damage caused by freezing temperatures. Here are the key reasons:

  1. Preventing Burst Pipes: Water left in the plumbing system (pipes, tanks, and pumps) can freeze, expand, and cause pipes to burst or crack. Winterizing involves draining water and adding antifreeze to prevent freezing.

  2. Protecting Water Heater and Tanks: The water heater and holding tanks (freshwater, gray, and black water tanks) are vulnerable to freezing. Winterizing ensures they are drained or treated with antifreeze to avoid damage.

  3. Maintaining the Water Pump: The water pump can be damaged by frozen water inside it, which winterizing helps prevent.

  4. Safeguarding Appliances: RV appliances like the fridge, washing machine, and toilet also have water lines that can freeze and break if not properly winterized.

  5. Cost Avoidance: Repairs from freeze damage can be expensive, making winterizing a cost-effective preventative measure.

Winterizing prepares an RV for cold weather storage, ensuring it remains in good condition until the next season.

 

 Living Quarter Trailer Winterization Transcript:

Hey guys, Ryan with Leonard Truck and Trailer, service manager over here, and it's that time of year again where we need to think about getting your trailer winterized. Right now, we're offering a special at $155 for a full winterization, which includes tax, title, antifreeze, the whole nine yards. We also offer same-day appointments, meaning you can come in, get your trailer fixed, and leave the same day.

Obviously, the only thing in addition to that is if we've had some plumbing issues, but we can fix that here on-site as well. Right now, we also have a special for $89.50. If you have a generator, we can go through, add fuel stabilizer, run it, and get that going as well. Anything else you can think of, at Leonard Truck and Trailer, give us a call. Thanks
