Texas freeze risk for RVs

Texas winters are mild but not frost-free: even Dallas-Fort Worth records about 29.2 nights at or below 32°F, so drain and protect the RV before the first cold front.

Winterizing an RV before the Texas 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 November 17.
