Kansas freeze risk for RVs

Kansas is hard-freeze country: Topeka logs about 113.9 nights at or below 32°F and 21.8 days that never thaw, enough to freeze any water left in the water lines, pump, water heater and toilet valve.

Winterizing an RV before the Kansas freeze

  1. Drain fresh, gray and black tanks, the low-point drains and the water heater.
  2. Bypass the heater and pump RV antifreeze to every faucet until it runs pink.
  3. Empty the fridge, prop doors open and remove anything rodents eat.
  4. Reseal roof and window caulk before water can freeze in the gaps.
  5. Disconnect batteries, cover tires and stabilize the chassis fuel.
  6. Book move-in before October 16.
