This is the information I got from the 2014 Crossroads travel trailer page 44-46
Winterizing your RV trailer. I was trying to follow what the procedure they have in the owners manual.
Method 2 A
RV Anti-Freeze without ez winterizing system
(With By-Pass Kit Installed)
1. Purchase 4 -6 gallons of RV approved, non-toxic, anti-freeze.
2. Drain all tanks, fresh water and sewage tanks
3. Turn water heater by-pass valve to by-pass position. (The by
pass valve is located near the water heater incoming lines – an access panel may have to be removed depending upon the model.)
4. Drain water heater.
5. If installed, remove water filter from assembly and discard.
Install diverter if included.
6. Pour an amount of RV non-toxic anti-freeze into the fresh water
tank to fill the tank above minimum water pump operating level. (Use of a long funnel may be helpful) Add more, if necessary, during procedure.
7. Turn on pump switch and open the cold water side of all faucet fixtures. Leave open until the anti-freeze comes out (generally, pink in color). Repeat for hot water side.
8. Flush toilet until anti-freeze begins to flow into the bowl and then pour one gallon of anti-freeze down the toilet to winterize the black tank.
9. Pour anti-freeze down each shower/tub, lavatory sink, and kitchen sink to fill p-traps.
10. To winterize gray tank(s) pour one gallon down each related sink drain.
Method 2 B
RV Anti-Freeze with ez winterizing system
(With By-Pass Kit Installed)
1. Purchase 4 -6 gallons of RV approved, non-toxic, anti-freeze.
2. Drain all tanks, fresh water and sewage tanks
3. Turn water heater by-pass valve to by-pass position. (The by
pass valve is located near the water heater incoming lines – an access panel may have to be removed depending upon the model.)
4. Drain water heater.
5. If installed, remove water filter from assembly and discard.
Install diverter if included.
6. Locate the ez winterizing system found near water pump or on
some models in water management panel. Turn valve to close flow from fresh tank and allow flow from ez winterizing hose. Place hose into supply of anti-freeze.
Chapter 7: Plumbing System
DO NOT USE Automotive Anti- Freeze. Automotive Anti-Freeze is poisonous and not for use in 7. Turn on pump switch and open the cold water side of all faucet fixtures. Leave open until the anti-freeze comes out (generally, pink in color). Repeat for hot water side.
8. Flush toilet until anti-freeze begins to flow into the bowl and then pour one gallon of anti-freeze down the toilet to winterize the black tank.
9. Pour anti-freeze down each shower/tub, lavatory sink, and kitchen sink to fill p-traps.
10. To winterize gray tank(s) pour one gallon down each related sink drain.
