ROAD TO ADVENTURE

Fall camp-ers can enjoy what summer camp-ers were

surely missing. Just in time for

Labour Day Weekend, the campfire ban in the Kamloops Fire Centre was lifted.

It was rescinded due to recent widespread precipitation, which resulted in a decreased risk of wildfires in the region.

The fire danger rat-ing is now primarily “low” to “moderate” throughout the fire centre.

The campfire ban was enacted on July 3, two weeks earlier than last’s year’s prohibition, which went into effect on July 16.

Last year, the camp-fire ban was lifted on Aug. 21.

Those enjoying

campfires are reminded to follow the following safety procedures:

• Have a shovel or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish your campfire.

• Campfires can-not be larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide.

• Do not light a campfire or keep it burning in windy con-ditions.

Weather can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material.

• You must maintain a one-metre fireguard around the campfire. This is a fuel-free area where all flammable materials (grass, kin-dling, etc.) have been removed.

• Never leave a campfire unattended.

• Make sure that the campfire is completely

extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.

• People who light campfires are legally responsible for mak-ing sure that they don’t escape.

They may be held accountable for damag-es and fire suppression costs if their negligence results in a wildfire.

4X4 group is revving up

Kamloops is a four-wheel-drive paradise.

Four-by-four users in the area congregate on a Facebook page called Kamloops 4x4, which has more than 1,900 members.

The forum offers a place for users to learn about their truck, orga-nize off-roading runs

and maybe even reach out for help when in a pinch up the mountain.

The group also has a buy-and-sell aspect.

Members are work-ing on turning the group into a non-profit and establish itself as a land-user group that might be able to con-verse with government to determine where it’s legal and safe to wheel, and offer guidance on

how to curb garbage dumping and illegal wheeling.

“We try to get people to go towards the tread lightly side of four-by-fouring, just because, the way things are going right now, if we can try to keep people on the trails and out of the mud, it will make four-by-fouring look a little more friendly to people who don’t know

anything about it,” said group president Charlie Denbigh.”

“We live in a four wheel drive paradise.

“There’s rock, mud and trails all over the place. There are so many logging roads and trails around you can go from Kamloops to 100 Mile House without touching pavement.”

While there hasn’t been many organized runs yet this year, Denbigh said they try to do at least three major runs per year and occa-sional day runs.

The group also orga-nizes clean-ups in areas of the backcountry that see a lot of dumping.

Last year a clean-up in Batchelor Heights attracted over 100 trucks.

Head over to Kamloops 4x4 on Facebook for every-thing off-roading in Kamloops.

Outdoor galore: Go off the grid this fallEnjoy a campfire, join the local 4X4 club for off-roading adventures

The Kamloops 4X4 club calls Kamloops a four-wheel-drive paradise. Logging roads and trails are everywhere.

ROAD TO ADVENTURE

Off roadBRP asserts itself

as the off-road perfor-mance leader by deliv-ering more of what consumers have been asking for: three new class-leading Rotax ATV engines, increased to 131 hp the flagship Can-Am Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo, and new specialized models for the 2016 Can-Am off-road lineup.

“BRP aims to remain the perfor-mance leader of the global off-road indus-try,” said Anne Bélec, senior vice-president, Global Brand, Strategy and Information Systems.

“We offer our customers the latest engine technologies

and industry-leading power in all ATV seg-ments and a more powerful Rotax 1000R Turbo engine in the Maverick, Maverick X ds and new X rs side-by-side vehicles. More than ever, our custom-ers can experience the ultimate ride and the latest technologies in the industry.”

Rotax engineers optimized and upgrad-ed three of the signa-ture ATV engines: the 570, the 850 and the 1000R. With signifi-cant power and torque gains, the new engines offer Can-Am off-road vehicles a clear advan-tage over the competi-tion.

The new Maverick

1000R Turbo model, the most affordable factory-installed turbocharged side-by-side vehicle in the industry, along with the Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo and new Maverick X rs 1000R Turbo models are the most powerful in the industry.

These models raise the performance bar with greater torque and an unprecedented 131 horsepower for an impeccable combina-tion of power and han-dling.

Along with the additional perfor-mance, BRP expands its Can-Am off-road family with specialty vehicles. The Outlander

L X mr 570 ATV makes mud riding more affordable than ever.

Can-Am Commander XT 1000 / XT 800R

The factory-installed, value-added package on the Commander XT 1000 and Commander XT 800R side-by-sides include a 2,041 kilo-gram winch, cast-

aluminum wheels and two new color choices. All XT pack-ages also include Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering, Visco-Lok QE and much more.

The Tri-Mode DPS system features three modes allowing riders to select the desired amount of steering assist for the terrain and performance. All modes offer less assist at high speed and more

assist at low speed. All DPS-equipped

models come with the Visco-Lok QE calibra-tion giving an even quicker engagement of the front differential. They can lock up to 100 per cent with no rev or speed limiter. This dif-ferential, unlike some competitor’s differen-tials, does not have a speed or rev limiter.

Sturdy, lightweight, 14-inch cast-aluminum

wheels with black highlights are very attractive and strong. The dipped Brushed Aluminum and camo models’ cast alumi-num wheels feature a unique painted black finish.

The non-directional tires are very capable climbing and clawing across tough terrain and also absorb vary-ing surfaces digital gauge.

The Can-Am Commander XT 1000 is amongst BRP’s latest lineup of Can-Am off-road vehicles.

ROAD TO ADVENTURE

The all-new Polaris 800 PRO-RMK 155 answers

the question: How does Polaris make the world’s best mountain sled even better?

Polaris has raised the bar for deep snow performance by build-ing the new 800 PRO-RMK 155 on an all-new AXYS chassis.

This new platform, purpose built for mountain riding, fea-tures innovative engi-neering from ski toe to snow flap, and dramat-ically improves every-thing that matters to mountain riders.

Built on the pat-ented AXYS chassis, the 2016 800 PRO-RMK 155 provides deep snow riders with:

• Instantaneous lift that allows the sled to pop up onto the snow and stays there

• Rider-balanced

control that enhances every riding experi-ence

• Immediate response from a plat-form that is both rigid and light so it is easy to control and reacts instantly to rider input.

This sled will enable the greatest number of riders to be more suc-cessful in the widest variety of conditions.

The patented, raised AXYS chassis improves lift to get the 800 PRO-RMK 155 up on top of the snow immediately, and its increased clearance reduces drag, allowing the sled to stay on top.

This is the lightest and most durable deep snow chassis.

It maintains the RMK’s renowned rider-balanced positioning so the rider enjoys the ultimate in sled con-trol and insane side-hilling capabilities.

Polaris used

advanced design opti-mization to develop a chassis that is lighter yet stronger and more rigid.

The redesigned rear suspension of the 800 PRO-RMK 155 is 3 lb. lighter and 15 per cent more rigid than before.

Rigidity increases

responsiveness. With this more-

rigid chassis, the sled responds immediately and predictably to rider input.

This makes it easier to ride by riders of all skill levels and, since less input is required, riders are less fatigued and can enjoy riding

longer.A Polaris-exclusive

mountain track — the all-new Series 6 2.6”

track — provides the ultimate performance in all riding condi-tions, including more traction and lift in deep snow.

The 800 H.O. engine has proven itself in a full season of powering Polaris Trail Performance and Crossover sleds.

It delivers out-standing acceleration and broad mid-range power, with horsepow-er that’s competitive with class-leading 800 engines.

This quick-revving engine spools up rap-idly, providing moun-tain riders with instant throttle response to generate sled lift.

Polaris: making the best sled even better

Polaris introduced the 800 PRO-RMK 155 early last spring, ahead of its full snowmobile lineup.POLARIS

On the road2015 GMC Sierra

Designed to deliver class-leading capabil-ity with enhanced comfort and smarter technologies, the 2015 GMC Sierra HD lineup advances a 111-year legacy of professional heavy-duty trucks.

Segment-leading capabilities across the range include the high-est payload – 7,374 pounds – and the highest conventional trailering rating – 19,600 pounds. The maximum fifth-wheel trailering rat-ing is 23,200 pounds.

Gas and Duramax diesel powertrains are offered, including a bi-fuel option that pairs the gas engine with a compressed natural gas system.

“Sierra HD trucks

are engineered without compromise to deliver not only the capability today’s heavy-duty truck customers demand, but the quality and refinement that inspire confidence with every task,” said Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Marketing.

“We’ve been doing this for more than a cen-tury, and nobody knows trucks like GMC.”

Bold styling and a more comfortable and technology-infused inte-rior are carried forward from the 2014 Sierra 1500, including double cab and revised crew cab body styles. Larger rear doors on each, along with new seat designs, enable easy entry and exit from the

rear seat and two inches of additional legroom on crew cabs.

The interior is also designed to help drivers and passengers whether they’re on the job or on a weekend getaway, with easier-to-reach, more intuitively located controls, more storage compartments, more plug-ins for electronic devices and the GMC IntelliLink infotainment system — with an eight-inch-diagonal color touch screen.

“Forget the notion that heavy-duty trucks are basic tools with a trailer hitch,” said DiSalle. “The 2015 Sierra HD trucks can haul the heaviest load with unmatched comfort and technology.”

2016 Mercedes-Benz GLEMercedes-Benz has

thoroughly revised its best-seller in the SUV segment.

The highlights of the new GLE include con-siderably more appeal-ing front and tail ends and extensive measures which make new bench-marks with regard to emissions and drive sys-tem possible.

For the first time in its SUV history, Mercedes-Benz offers a plug-in hybrid model, the GLE550e 4MATIC, which combines maxi-mum efficiency with outstanding perfor-mance.

This multi-talent will even best the already low fuel consumption figures of the efficiency champion GLE300d

with four-cylinder diesel engine, while delivering the performance of a V8 model.

The advantages of the new GLE also include best on-road and off-road handling, outstanding spacious-ness and high levels of active and passive safety.

The GLE impresses with ground-breaking assistance systems and the innovative dynamic handling control sys-tem, which offers exten-sive drive and off-road programs for even the base model.

The unmistakable design with the hall-mark C-pillar and the variable interior with the wellness factor of a luxurious sedan model

further enriches the Mercedes-Benz GLE experience.

The GLE also impresses with an extensive engine line-up. Five equally efficient and power-ful powertrain options with four, six or eight cylinders are available to choose from.

2016 GLE CoupeThe new GLE63 S

Coupe 4MATIC com-bines the sportiness of a coupe with the strengths of an SUV.

High agility, a dis-tinctive engine sound and typical sports car acceleration are united with poise and assur-ance, tremendous pull-ing power and perfect traction.

The raised seating position and effortlessly unhurried superiority on the road, paired with typical AMG longitu-dinal and transverse dynamics and direct response to driver com-mands, result in an intense driving feel.

The wide choice of different worlds of experience is based, among other things, on the Dynamic Select transmission modes, which for the first time permit such a wide spread of driv-ing dynamics. The five transmission modes, which the driver is able to select using a rotary control on the center console, deliver funda-mentally different driv-ing dynamics.

Winter exploration: Find traction in the powder

Did you know there is an asso-

ciation for Kamloops snowmobilers? The active club can pro-vide a plethora of information about local trails and con-ditions. Here is what they have to say about riding in Kamloops. Go online to kam-loopssnowmobile.com for more information.

The Kamloops Snowmobile Association (KSA) is an active club that would love to show you around our beautiful area. If you are a local resident and have not yet joined the KSA, we encourage you to do so and join the fun.

Due to our central loca-tion the Kamloops area represents a unique oppor-tunity for snowmobilers.

We have access to all varieties of terrain from easy trails visiting lakes and high meadows, to steep and deep powder mountain riding. We have it all within an hour of all the facilities Kamloops can provide.

The KSA has Stewardship Agreements covering two major riding areas each with a number of trails. Please note all snowmobile trails in the Kamloops area are combinations of inactive unplowed forest industry roads and snowmobile rec-reation trails. Riding snow-mobiles on active forest industry roads is extremely dangerous and strictly prohibited by law. The Tod Mountain (Sun Peaks) area

snowmobile trails, and the Tranquille Lake/Porcupine Ridge area snowmobile trails both have shelters, groomed trails and desig-nated staging areas.

The following are just some of the snowmobile trails in the Kamloops area.

Riders are encouraged to contact the KSA prior to their trip to get updated information on riding, for-estry activities, avalanche risks and conditions. Go online to kamloopssnow-mobile.com for detailed maps of snowmobile routes in the Kamloops area.

Tranquille Lake/Porcupine meadows

Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park is accessible by snowmobile only from Dec. 15 to April 15 annually.

No other motorized access is allowed at any time. The area is accessed (40-minute drive from Kamloops) from the KSA Chalet at 31.5km on Sawmill Main FSR and through the Tranquille Lake area on trails groomed by the KSA.

Trails within the Porcupine Meadows Park are not groomed by agree-

ment. This area is managed under agreement with the KSA, MoTSA (Ministry of Tourism, Sports and the Arts) and BC Parks.

Trails outside of the Porcupine Meadows Park are comprised of unplowed forest industry roads and registered snowmobile trails.

Porcupine Meadows is the highest elevation (1790m) between Kamloops and 100 Mile House on the west side of the North Thompson River . There are two shelters maintained by the KSA, one just outside the Park on the southern edge and an historic forestry fire lookout at the highest elevation. Limited services including fuel and snacks are available at Wendego Lodge on Tranquille Lake during normal business hours.

Jamieson CreekJamieson Creek just 30

minutes north of Kamloops on the west side of the North Thompson River. The area is accessed via active forest industry roads and snowmobilers gain access to trails made up of unplowed

roads and recreation trails to numerous meadow com-plexes and lakes. The area is isolated but easy riding.

Tod Mountain Public access to the

snowmobile trail system is through the Sun Peaks ski area village, a 45-minute drive from Kamloops. This area is managed under agreement with the KSA and MoTSA in cooperation with

Sun Peaks. The trails system extends

from McGillivray Lake (1,400m) to the south to Mt Leslie (1,835m) to the north.

There is access to the summit of Tod Mountain (2,133m) from the “Old Horse Trail” on the north east corner of Tod Mountain. Accessing the Tod Mountain alpine requires at least interme-diate mountain riding skills. There are boundar-ies marked in the southern alpine on Tod Mountain defining the operational area of the Sun Peaks ski area which must be respect-ed. The KSA maintains a shelter on the western flanks of Cahilty Mountain. Trails are groomed by Sun Peaks Adventure Tours and are made up of unplowed forest industry roads and recreation trails.

Lac Le JeuneLocated 20 minutes

south of Kamloops, the Lac

Le Jeune area snowmobile trails run towards the south and east of Lac Le Jeune.

The elevation is 1,300m to 1,680m. There are many other users in the immedi-ate area of Lac Le Jeune that must be respected, such as cross country ski trail systems and local residents. This area is managed by agreement with the KSA and MoTSA (Ministry of Tourism, Sports, and the Arts).

Once you are far enough south of Lac Le Jeune con-flicts are less of an issue.

The ungroomed trail system runs through pic-turesque rolling plateau terrain on unplowed for-est industry and ranching roads, through numerous meadow complexes, lakes and old forest fire burns. Sightings of moose are com-mon in this area, ice fishing is also popular. This area is also accessed through Edith Lake and Rossmore Lake.

ROAD TO ADVENTURE

Riding in deep snow in the moun-tains

continues to grow in popularity, due in large part to the advancement of snowmobile technol-ogy that is making the unique and challeng-ing mountain riding style easier for more and more riders.

That surge began in earnest with the debut of the Ski-Doo Summit model in 1994 and rocketed forward with the REV-XP in 2008 and then REV-XM platform in 2013, with dozens of features rethought and rede-signed specifically for mountain riding.

That surge was enabled significantly by the tMotion rear suspension and FlexEdge track tech-nology designed to make boondocking near effortless.

Then for 2015, BRP debuted the T3 pack-age, a collection of fea-tures centered around a 3 in. track lug — the tallest ever offered by an OEM.

It was a smash hit, with riders across the world discovering how much easier it was to boondock with the added traction and flotation.

For 2015, the T3 was offered alongside the standard X package.

For 2016, all Summit X sleds include the T3 features standard, and BRP is offering T3 versions of the Summit SP 154, 163 and now 174 sleds for those whose riding styles or snow condi-tions call for the added traction.

All Summit SP sleds also get the more precise handling and lighter weight RAS 2 front suspension.

BRP has also seen tremendous interest in the use of snowmo-

biles by backcountry snowboarders and skiers to get to remote areas and as “mobile chairlifts.”

For 2016, it is offer-ing a Summit Burton package — the first factory equipped snowmobile for doing just that.

Developed in col-laboration with Burton

Snowboards, the world’s leading snow-board company, it takes a Summit SP, the best selling sled, and adds a LinQ system rack for carrying snow-board or skis, a special low profile 2-up seat for carrying the board-er and the driver. It also features a special coloration.

Ski-Doo Summit SP with T3 package

The top in-season Ski-Doo Summit snowmobile now can be acquired with the T3 package for added deep-snow ability.

Available in 174,163 or 154 in. (442, 414, 392 cm) track lengths, the Summit SP with

T3 package adds 3 in. (7,62 cm) track lugs.

The extra traction makes all mountain manoeuvres easier and calms the entire boondocking experi-ence down — riding is less about momentum, so there’s more time to choose lines and make mid-course correc-tions.

A host of efforts to reduce weight mean that while the T3 adds traction, there is virtu-ally no added weight versus a SP with 2.5 in. (6.3 cm) lug track.

• The REV-XM platform: Includes ergonomic package and bodywork specifi-cally designed for deep snow riding.

Maintains the REV-X platform’s light, yet strong chassis and flexible riding position.

• tMotion rear sus-pension: A swivelling rear arm and split front arm allow the skidframe to flex later-ally for easier roll up.

Rising-rate motion ratio adds capac-ity and comfort. New T3-specific geometry and lighter weight arms

• HPG shocks: High Pressure Gas shocks by KYB are extremely capable.

• Key features:New PowderMax

track with FlexEdge: 3-in (7.62 cm) track lugs, the tallest ever offered by a sled man-ufacturer, dramatically increase traction.

Several design modifications reduce weight by more than 2.43 lb (1.1 kg). Exclusive 16-in (41-cm) wide design adds flotation and traction without sacrificing manoeuvrability.

FlexEdge technol-ogy reduces the length of the fibreglass rein-forcing rods to only 12 in (31 cm) wide, enabling the edges to flex – reducing the effort to initiate roll-up.

Ski-Doo technology: Precise landing, lighter weight

The Ski-Doo Summit SP can be enhanced for deep-snow ability. BRP

ROAD TO ADVENTURE

Many people think RVing is just for

spring and summer, but did you know that you can have just as many adven-tures in fall and winter?

With all the makes, models and brands of RVs, there’s a unit for every lifestyle, budget and fam-ily, and whichever RV you choose can provide a warm retreat for any activity. Here are just four ways you can have a fun fall and winter with your RV:

• Hunting: If you like the ruggedness of hunting but would love to enjoy some comfort afterwards, an RV can provide all that and more. With storage for your guns and gear, a hot shower, a kitchen and a warm bed, you truly can enjoy the best of both worlds.

• Rustic Thanksgiving feast: What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to be out in the stillness of nature. You can either prep

your meal ahead of time or cook a full feast at your campsite. Talk about a great way to wrap up the camping season and give thanks for all the adventures you had this year.

• Cook-off with other RVers: Do you have friends with RVs? Go on a group outing and have a fall cook-off challenge. Form a panel with a person from each party and vote on the best dish then celebrate with a group potluck.

• Snow fun: With so many sizes and types of RVs, you can pack along anything from skis and snowboards to snow shoes and snowmobiles for your favourite winter activities. Or maybe you just want to make a great snow angel!

Whatever the sport, you can pop inside right after and enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

RVing is all about fun, but your engine will be working harder in colder weather. Here are a few tips to keep in mind during fall and winter:

• Use your furnace according to your RV own-er’s manual.

• Have enough propane.• Bring a generator or

solar panel and inverter for dry camping.

• Install a carbon monox-ide detector.

• Inspect your seals.• Winterize your RV if

you’re in freezing tempera-tures.

• Keep the heat inside using weather stripping around exterior doors.

• Fight off moisture and condensation.

• Switch to weather-appropriate tires — and bring along a set of tire chains if you’re out in the snow.

• Bring plenty of winter clothes — the warmer you feel, the less heat you’ll need!

Want to know more about how to set yourself up for hassle-free RVing in the fall or winter? Don’t hesi-tate to call your friends at Fraserway RV – the place for everything RV since 1969.

• Step 1: Drain the systemDrain your black water and then your grey

water at a sani-dump. Next, drain your cold and hot water line drains. Be sure to put the plugs back on after draining or your anti-freeze will drain out.

Now, it’s time to drain your fresh water tank. Drain your hot water heater. First, alle-viate pressure by opening up the hot tap in the kitchen or the relief valve on the water heater itself.

The two main brands of hot water heater are Atwood and Suburban. If you have an Atwood heater, you’ll need a 7/8” socket with an extension. If you have a Suburban, you’ll need to remove the anode rod with a 1” 1/16 socket. Let the water drain out.

• Step 2: Bypass your hot water heater.First off, you don’t need to put antifreeze

in the hot water heater, fresh water tank, or grey and black water holding tanks.

It’s the waterlines themselves you need to worry about because there’s no room to expand. Your heater will have a water line in the bottom – that’s the cold water going in. A hot water line comes out on the top which fills your hot water pipes.

If there’s a middle pipe connecting those two water lines, that’s the bypass which prevents antifreeze from entering the water heater. Most units have this bypass already installed -— usually a one-, two- or three-bypass valve system.

With a three-valve system, make sure the valves on the cold and hot water lines are turned perpendicular to the line itself. Then turn the valve on the bypass so it’s parallel to the bypass line. On a two-valve system, turn both valves to that they’re perpendicular to the cold and hot water lines, and parallel to the bypass line. With a one-valve system, all

you need to do is close the valve so it appears perpendicular to the cold water line.

Step 3: Connect antifreeze to the water pump. You’ll need to set up a temporary water pump bypass to get the antifreeze into your plumbing system. Have a few towels handy in case of dribbles, and disconnect the water pump from the fresh water tank on the water pump side.

Screw in the temporary bypass to the pump side, then put the other end into a jug of RV antifreeze. In total, you’ll probably need two jugs of antifreeze.

Step 4: Run all water outlets. Make sure the outside drain plug and all water taps are closed, and then turn on the water pump.

Run everything individually. Run your hot tap in the kitchen until you see antifreeze and let it run for a second. Do the same with the cold tap. Run the hot and cold in the bath-room sink, then run the hot and cold in the tub, and make sure you run the shower head until you see antifreeze.

Flush the toilet until you see antifreeze. Pour about a cup full of antifreeze down all drains. If you have an outside shower or taps, make sure you run them on the hot and cold side until you see antifreeze.

Lastly, turn off your water pump.Step 5: Fill check-valve line (where you

hook up your RV to city water). It’s very important to make sure your water pump is in the off position. Remove the screen attached to your city water hookup.

Push in on the check valve inside (some water will spurt out) and hold it down until you see some antifreeze trickle back down that line.

The last step is a crucial one, or you’ll be kicking yourself come springtime. Go back to the water pump and reconnect it.

• Cook-off with other RVers: Do you have friends with RVs? Go on a group outing and have a fall cook-off challenge. Form a panel with a person from each party and vote on the best dish then celebrate with a group potluck.

• Snow fun: With so many sizes and types of RVs, you can pack along anything from skis and snowboards to snow shoes and snowmobiles for your favourite winter activities. Or maybe you just want to make a great snow angel!

Whatever the sport, you can pop inside right after and enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

RVing is all about fun, but your engine will be working harder in colder weather. Here are a few tips to keep in mind during fall and winter:

• Use your furnace according to your RV own-er’s manual.

• Have enough propane.• Bring a generator or

solar panel and inverter for dry camping.

• Install a carbon monox-ide detector.

• Inspect your seals.• Winterize your RV if

you’re in freezing tempera-tures.

• Keep the heat inside using weather stripping around exterior doors.

• Fight off moisture and condensation.

• Switch to weather-appropriate tires — and bring along a set of tire chains if you’re out in the snow.

• Bring plenty of winter clothes — the warmer you feel, the less heat you’ll need!

• Step 1: Drain the systemDrain your black water and then your grey

water at a sani-dump. Next, drain your cold and hot water line drains. Be sure to put the plugs back on after draining or your anti-freeze will drain out.

Now, it’s time to drain your fresh water tank. Drain your hot water heater. First, alle-viate pressure by opening up the hot tap in the kitchen or the relief valve on the water heater itself.

The two main brands of hot water heater are Atwood and Suburban. If you have an Atwood heater, you’ll need a 7/8” socket with an extension. If you have a Suburban, you’ll need to remove the anode rod with a 1” 1/16 socket. Let the water drain out.

• Step 2: Bypass your hot water heater.First off, you don’t need to put antifreeze

in the hot water heater, fresh water tank, or grey and black water holding tanks.

It’s the waterlines themselves you need to worry about because there’s no room to expand. Your heater will have a water line in the bottom – that’s the cold water going in. A hot water line comes out on the top which fills your hot water pipes.

If there’s a middle pipe connecting those two water lines, that’s the bypass which prevents antifreeze from entering the water heater. Most units have this bypass already installed -— usually a one-, two- or three-bypass valve system.

With a three-valve system, make sure the valves on the cold and hot water lines are turned perpendicular to the line itself. Then turn the valve on the bypass so it’s parallel to the bypass line. On a two-valve system, turn both valves to that they’re perpendicular to the cold and hot water lines, and parallel to the bypass line. With a one-valve system, all

you need to do is close the valve so it appears perpendicular to the cold water line.

Step 3: Connect antifreeze to the water pump. You’ll need to set up a temporary water pump bypass to get the antifreeze into your plumbing system. Have a few towels handy in case of dribbles, and disconnect the water pump from the fresh water tank on the water pump side.

Screw in the temporary bypass to the pump side, then put the other end into a jug of RV antifreeze. In total, you’ll probably need two jugs of antifreeze.

Step 4: Run all water outlets. Make sure the outside drain plug and all water taps are closed, and then turn on the water pump.

Run everything individually. Run your hot tap in the kitchen until you see antifreeze and let it run for a second. Do the same with the cold tap. Run the hot and cold in the bath-room sink, then run the hot and cold in the tub, and make sure you run the shower head until you see antifreeze.

Flush the toilet until you see antifreeze. Pour about a cup full of antifreeze down all drains. If you have an outside shower or taps, make sure you run them on the hot and cold side until you see antifreeze.

Lastly, turn off your water pump.Step 5: Fill check-valve line (where you

hook up your RV to city water). It’s very important to make sure your water pump is in the off position. Remove the screen attached to your city water hookup.

Push in on the check valve inside (some water will spurt out) and hold it down until you see some antifreeze trickle back down that line.

The last step is a crucial one, or you’ll be kicking yourself come springtime. Go back to the water pump and reconnect it.
