Re: [A/S] Winterizing

Hmmmm, I just went out and looked....and I am not sure, but I will 
ask him when he gets back.  In case he doesn't know, where is the 
plug as opposed to the relief valve?  I do see the relief valve and 
that may have been what he was using, but not sure.
I didn't check the archives here....I went to Tom's sight and to 
Airstream forum.  I will do a search on winterizing from this site 
also.  

The former owners went through everything with Mark.  When Mark got 
home he tried using the "hand pump" that comes with the trailer and 
he said there was no pressure.  So He thought he better just through 
alittle extra antifreeze in for luck.  Well, this has lead to this 
circumstance.  I don't know if it has ever been totally winterized.  
The fellow used to go to Airzona in the winter..and where the 
trailer has lived for 25 years doesn't get as cold as it does here.  
Thanks, Jack, for the suggestion.

Going to an RV dealer here is almost ridiculous.  Mark knows more 
about components than anyone in Billings.  He has ridden that 
circuit with other equipment.  Besides he is a learn by doing 
person.  We just need the know the facts.

LOL, the past 6 years have been forgiving....but the drought has to 
pass some day and the temps will go down someday.  The Streamer will 
be in his shop....but we just figured out the shop door is 10' and 
we measured the trailer and it shows 9.5', but the Airstream site 
says 9'7" for a Classic, but doesn't show any exterior heights for a 
1974....don't want to have to buy an airconditioner shroud.  They 
look expensive!  Mark wants to take it off, but I don't want my 
Airstream in pieces....
Ooooh the battles of a newbie...Thanks for your patience.
