slwade.901@gmail.com Report post Posted November 3, 2010 This is my first coach (RV). Will be leaving OH after Xmas. Do I need to winterize even though I will leave coach plugged in with furnace running? Is it OK to put an electric heater in the compartment for holding tanks and pump to make sure nothing would freeze? TOM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted November 3, 2010 How long do you intend to be away from the coach? Will it be stored outside? If its really cold, the furnace will suck through the propane pretty quickly. I personally would not feel comfortable leaving my coach for any extended time with the furnace running. For peace of mind, I would winterize before leaving town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roodriver Report post Posted November 4, 2010 I would empty my tanks and blow out the lines. Don't forget the sprayer in the kitchen and the water filters. Put Rv anti-freeze in the traps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
