Winterizing
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2007 2:32 am
My son just purchased a 1993 14X70 mobile home here in New York . He will be living on the west coast till next spring and we need to winterize the home for him .
We drained the electric hot water tank and shut that off . The pipes under the home do have heat tape on them and are working .
We have to put antifreeze in the toilets and sink traps right ? Do we have to use the RV antifreeze or can we use regular car antifreeze ? How do we do this ?
Is there anything else we need to do for the winter ?
He will be heating it by keeping the thermostat kept on 50 . Is that a good temp ?
Never done this before so any tips you have would be appreciated . Thanks ~~~~~~~Vickie~~~~~~~
