Follow the steps below that apply to your RV. If you have any inline water filters remove and bypass before starting. Drain the fresh water holding tank. Drain and flush the gray and black holding tanks. Drain the water heater. Open all hot and cold faucets; don’t forget the toilet valve and outside shower. Likewise, how often should I drain my RV water heater? I would recommend you draining it every time you’re done camping if you are going to let the RV sit for more than two weeks before your next trip. I would also empty your fresh water tanks as well. Likewise, should you put antifreeze in your freshwater tank? Do not pour antifreeze into your fresh water tank to run it through the pump into your water system. This will take a lot of antifreeze and is not very efficient. Even when the tank is drained there remains some water in the bottom of the tank which mixes with the antifreeze and lessens its protection level.Do you put RV antifreeze in the hot water tank?There is one for both the cold and hot water lines. If your RV does not have a bypass kit installed, the water heater tank will fill with RV antifreeze before it goes through the water lines, wasting six or ten gallons of RV antifreeze. You can install a bypass kit or have one installed by a local RV service facility.
