New Jersey freeze risk for RVs

New Jersey freezes in short spells: Atlantic City has about 101.3 freezing nights but only 10.5 days that stay below 32°F, and those overnight freezes are what crack an RV that was not drained.

Winterizing an RV before the New Jersey 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 22.
