This is a video to show how to winterize your Casita Travel Trailer using RV antifreeze. I am not an expert but wanted to put together something that should be easy to follow along to if you are going to do it yourself. There are other ways to do this but this worked just fine for me this past winter in Colorado at my house at 9600 feet elevation.
Don’t forget to drain your holding tanks...I had already done that before the video. Since I plan on using it again before being stored for winter I didn’t worry about draining them again. I will repeat the process next month when it’s stored for good taking care to get all the water out of the lines.
I don’t drink water from the freshwater tank, it’s just used for washing and showers and toilet usage. I’ve heard the antifreeze can leave a taste but I plan on thoroughly sanitizing and flushing the tanks before I use them again in the spring.
I hope that you all find this helpful, thanks for watching!

William Branham Thanks! I wish I didn’t have to do it, I prefer warm weather but love Colorado and enjoy the snow so I guess I will have to deal with it :)

Just winterized my Casita this afternoon. When you take out the anode, release the pressure relief valve and the water will gush out instead of glugging... I am surprised that it did not take more RV anti-freeze to keep it from freezing up at 9600'. Looked pretty diluted. Might help if you raise the front of the trailer so the water that is left in the tank will run towards the drain. Good video... Jealous not being able to live in Colorado. Love Colorado. Went to school at Western State in Gunnison one summer.

Dick Madison Thanks for watching! I will try and mess with the pressure valve next time after taking the anode out, it didn’t seem to do much from what I remember. As for the antifreeze, I knew I was planning to go to Moab a few weeks after and had to rewinterize again. I ran more through the lines then. Haven’t had any problems yet! (Knock on wood :) Colorado is great, spent about a week in Crested Butte mountain biking this summer, love it over there. Gunnison is a cool town!

Thanks, helpful video. So, you've never had problems with the city water line? Our Casita has an exterior shower, I would think you'd need to do that too. FYI, I'm in CB.

Thanks Frank! I didn't have any issues with the city water line, but I never use it so maybe it didn't have water in it? Last winter and this winter I used a compressor to blow the lines out instead and I hook that adapter up to the city water line and it blows air through the lines instead. I added the pink stuff to the drains and ran a little bit through into the water pump. I think you would for sure have to do the exterior shower line, I don't have that unfortunately!

What about the gray and black water tank? Just empty it?

notmycupotea Yes, I had already emptied the tanks after a prior camping trip. I poured some more antifreeze into the black tank as well.
