This man should win RV teacher of the year, every year. Knowledgeable and witty to the core

@karenreed9982 3 года назад

I cannot thank you enough for all of this information. My husband and I just bought an Apex Nano, and sadly the dealership didn’t go over any of this with us. We live in Alberta, Canada, and it seems like it’s winter 9 months out of the year… So learning how to winterize and De-winterize is huge for us. Keep these videos coming… Us newbies thoroughly enjoy them!!

@jasoncline6393 3 года назад

I have a 193bhs, every summer I have to re teach myself order of operations to dewinterize and sanitize the fresh water tank and lines even though we use jugs of spring water for drinking. Think I dump the low points and drain from the shower, then sanitize the fresh water and run some through the fixtures until pink is gone, then drain tank since I mostly do full hookups.

@KeystoneRVCenter 3 года назад

We are going to do a sanitize video next

Thanks so much JR. Your videos are sooo helpul! I save them and have them handy when I go camping. You aleviate a lot of stress as I feel I can do things myself now. You explain things so clearly I wish the dealers would do the same.

Big thank you!! This is a simple clear demonstration to help us first time around. I appreciate the comment regarding flushing the system BEFORE opening the by-pass to the hot water tank. My truck mechanic was formerly an RV mechanic, but its hard to cover all the bases with him on the phone, He's a busy guy! I like to have the steps written down in my 3-ring camper binder. I think the dealers should include a sheet on this process and not count on us taking the camper into the dealership. We are in NH our dealership is in VT!

Super video . Exactly what we needed to know. For all of the antifreeze that you flush out of the sinks and bathroom, I assume it goes into the gray water tank and then you dump it once you hookup at the RV park your going to?

@brianvanallen144 Год назад

Good video, thanks. But LOL, it is NOT a "hot water heater". You are not heating hot water to make steam. It is a cold water heater, or as it's normally called, a water heater.

@KeystoneRVCenter Год назад

Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters, kettles, cauldrons, pots, or coppers. These metal vessels that heat a batch of water do not produce a continual supply of heated water at a preset temperature. Rarely, hot water occurs naturally, usually from natural hot springs. The temperature varies based on the consumption rate, becoming cooler as flow increases. Appliances that provide a continual supply of hot water are called water heaters, hot water heaters, hot water tanks, boilers, heat exchangers, geysers, or calorifiers. These names depend on region, and whether they heat potable or non-potable water, are in domestic or industrial use, and their energy source.

@brawdys 3 года назад

@CSXcamper 3 года назад

I was wondering when you was going to do another video. Beginning to think you fell off the earth somewhere. Batman hat but no cape. lol I was wondering what that extra hose was for with the cap on it. I need to relook on our 265RBSS to see where the bypass valve (for the water heater) is because I didn't see it when I took the panel off.

@KeystoneRVCenter 3 года назад

Im still here still kicking. Cape is at the house. I wear the cape some but we just been busy. 265 Apex Hot water heater bypass should be under the fridge

@NomadicWoodsman 3 года назад

Thanks so much for this video ! We just bought this camper and just followed your video to de-winterize, worked great ! Once the hot water tank has water in it and you turn it on, do you need to always have water to it ex. the pump or be plugged on the city water ? Or will it gravity feed and always have water in it anyways ?? Thanks again. Steve, Ab, Canada.

@KeystoneRVCenter 3 года назад

No it will hold water even when its just sitting there without pressure in the system -JR

@carenmcclure9822 2 года назад

Thanks for video it saved me from having someone else do it for me . I have a 2021 Apex Nano 208bhs. My question and comment is my valves work opposite from the ones in the video. Also I noticed some anti freeze in what looks like a filter near the water pump that didn’t flush out when I flushed the system as instructed in the video. Is that normal and will that flush into water heater when I turn on the water pump?

@antonioraigoza2648 2 месяца назад

Should ur low point drains be open when camping then ?

@Lsgriff 3 года назад

This is gonna sound dumb, but I’m fairly new at all this, the anode rod. I think mine is completely gone but I’ve heard some water heaters don’t use them. Isn’t the anode rod connected to that plastic plug you remove to drain the water heater? I’m certain I had a rod when I bout my camper used in 2019 but I’m embarrassed to say that I can’t remember.

@frankiemcallister7141 2 года назад

At what point do you turn on the water pump during de-winterization? Noob question sorry. Don’t want to make mistakes

@KeystoneRVCenter 2 года назад

So the truth is I personally never do. I de winterize with city water pressure The small amount of antifreeze in the water pump is not an issue. So after I de winterizer the next time I go dry camping I will fill my water tank up with fresh water. Turn the pump on like normal and spit out what little anti freeze I have in there. It holds almost no noticeable liquid in the pump and I just let it sit in it until I need it. If you really want to flush it you can drop the hose in a water jug at any point and do the same thing. -JR

@user-vq8ws7nb9p Год назад

So, the water heater is empty during the winter?

@KeystoneRVCenter Год назад

Yes -JR

@valt0five 3 года назад

So with this process, at no point do you need to put water in the fresh water tank from the other inlet? Not the city water? Also, there is another low point drain under my trailer. Just 1 hose. What does that drain ?

@KeystoneRVCenter 3 года назад

No I do not. I know some people do but I do not. They say it is to "clear the anti freeze from the water pump. If that is a concern of yours you can use a jug of water and treat the pump like we do during the winterizing step to draw fresh water in -JR

@brianhilbert8673 3 года назад

Do you need to add anything to help with desensitizing the lines from the antifreeze?

@KeystoneRVCenter 3 года назад

The antifreeze used in when winterizing is non toxic. RV antifreeze just needs to be flushed out. Some people complain about the taste But I do not drink the water from the camper so I do not have that issue. Just run a ton of water through it if you notice it when cooking or bushing your teeth but for me once all the pink is gone its good to go -JR
