I just noticed that the Cruiser has an "EZ Winterizer" kit. What is it?

It lets you use the pump to pump rv anti-freeze thru the plumbing. You switch the valve and insert the open end of the hose into the anti-freeze bottle then turn on pump. Make sure you put water heater in bypass first, then open each faucet until pink fluid comes out. Do sinks, toilet, shower, outside shower. I even open my low point drains to make sure all lines are winterized.

Do not forget to take off the screen on the city water intake and push in the valve stem to allow the trapped water to drain. Dont try this when the system is under pressure Trust me I know.

I was going to ask the same question but I didn't want to seem rude to all these very helpful people.

Moving south does save on winterizing!
51 days at 100 or over this summer, hottest on record. Winter lasts about 4 days.

Yep George, it is real easy to do, you just put a snow shovel on top of the car, and head south. When a person ask what that is, you are there. There is the modern version, where you put a snow blower in the back of your truck, and when a crowd gathers you know you are at your new home

We found a terrific pen and ink drawing when in Tubac, AZ this past April. It was a modernistic depiction of two people watching a sunset and the caption read, "They packed up one day and headed south...said they weren't going to stop until they found a place where they didn't need their winter coats. We never saw them again."
This now hangs on a wall of our Sunset Trail.

All i use is a 4ft hose, I unhook the suction of the pump and put the new hose on, then fill a 5 gallon jug full of antifreeze and put the other end in it. Switch the hot water heater bypass of course. Then turn on the furthest tap and let it run until pink, then some more for the traps. This makes winterizing cheap and only take minutes.

No need to winterize in Baton Rouge, no winter.

It should be located in the compartment that holds the water heater and probably the water pump. Locate the water heater on the outside of the trailer, then look inside on that area. You should find a panel that will be screwed on, or it will be a door. Some times it is hard to find. If you can turn the pump on and listen for the noise, that's another way of locating it.
Hope this will help.

Is this your floor plan?
If it is, then I agree, the pump could very well be under the steps, or right under the sink. Check them both out and see if steps open up or come apart. Look under the sink also.

No I have CF27RLX, the washroom is on the other side, I have checked again and the noise from the water pump comes from under the stair I guess access would be from the storage compartments , could that be possible ? EZ maybe but not EZ to find, I might have to wait till monday and call the dealer.

Have you looked in the storage compartment?
I don't know where your pump is------but I'm guessing you will have to access it from inside the trailer.
Check out the step area real carefully, use a flashlight if necessary. If it's under the steps there is probably screws that will have to come out so you can open it up.
