I realized I nearly hijacked someone else's topic....so here I go with a new thread.
As stated in another thread, I am looking for a good approach to a common problem for all of us road warriors.....winterizing my Interstate while on the road.
While I have ordered Camco's hand pump kit, I would like to ask how everyone else out there handles this while on the road.
I did look at putting a "kit" on the pump suction. It is possible, with a suggestion from another user (Protagonist...thank you) to unbolt the pump and install the kit. Another, more colorful, solution suggested using cheap vodka......hmmmmm vodka on tap so to speak. ( can you say flammable?)
On my particular build, 2013-late model year, the pump is accessible. That's about it. The business end is mounted in what the engineer in me would describe as 180 degrees out of position. The business end is toward the outer wall. This makes it all but impossible to release the filter clips. It would also take an adept left-handed monkey to get to the hose clamp on the suction. It appears the only approach is to unscrew the pump from the floor, and hope I have enough room (and slack) to work with the suction line. There is no moving the pump...too much other crap in the vicinity.
The pump is really the only issue. I can take care of the pressure side (almost) with the hand pump. The tanks and discharge should be straightforward.
I am open to suggestion.......( I just put my helmet on)
As I said....how do you do your on the road winterizing.
