Oregon freeze risk for RVs

Oregon freezes in short spells: Medford has about 63.9 freezing nights but only 1.0 days that stay below 32°F, and those overnight freezes are what crack an RV that was not drained.

Winterizing an RV before the Oregon 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.
