Antifreeze?

[Willy P]

Is RV antifreeze safe to put in my little porty? I was used to heating my van and having heated storage but not now. I noticed the pump on my RV was a shurflo so is the winterizing antifreeze safe for my little guy? 200 PSI pump.

Should be fine. Flush out any water first, then recirculate it back to your fresh tank. Leave your bleed hose connected and on the tank as RV antifreeze can freeze in extreme low temperatures. Having an open ended hose connected will let the pressure out.

Rv antifreeze ate the metal in the water box float in my thermalwave

I suggest windshield washer fluid

Thanks! I just bought that pump from George at TMS. It seems to work great.

I'm taking my RV in to winterize it on Wednesday. I see they use a shuflo pump for water in the motorhome to pressurize the system.

Straight out of the Sandia manual.

I do a lot of winterizing and although RV antifreeze will probably work, I've had my issues with it. My suggestion would be windshield washer fluid. It also rinses out easier.

I concur on Windshield washer fluid.. Our winters are brutal here..

My suggestion would be windshield washer fluid.

And probably cheaper!
