[A/S] Dewinterizing/Shocking fresh water tank



Hi all,

I'm an Airstream newbie.  I bought a '92 29' Excella last Nov. which is 
both my first A/S and first RV of any kind.  I live in MN so the trailer 
was already winterized when I picked it up.  Anything I should look out 
for when I dewinterize this spring?

I've been reading the manual and it describes a procedure for shocking 
the fresh water tank with chlorine.  I bought it from a dealer so I 
never met the people who owned it.  Seems like shocking the tank would 
be a good idea.  Anybody done this and have any advice?

I'm a little ahead of the game since it won't thaw here for at least 
another month, but talking about it and buying accessories is the only 
way I can play with the new toy with out actually using it.  I really 
like winter but this one has been awful long waiting to go camping.  :)

TIA
