My coach is an 88 and it has never been outside in the winter. I was always in a heated garage or in Arizona for the winter. This is first time it will be out in the cold of Minnesota and two weeks ago I put 30 gallons of RV antifreeze in the water tank and ran it through everything except the drinking water filters. I went back the following morning and ran it through all systems again, filled all of the traps, drained the water, left all of the faucets open and mayed sure that my air operated toilet had a full bowel of anti freeze. I'm taking the coach to my friend who runs a bus repair garage and he will put a quart of alcohol in each of my air tanks, grease it, change my oil and filters and I added 2 gallons of antigel to the fuel tanks and all I can do is hope that God cares enough about Newells that have to with stand -30 below zero that it will be ok in the spring.
Thats my 2 cents worth and I'm sticking with it.
Lets both due a follow up in the spring.
