Winterizing Your RV: Tips for a Cozy Stay at Pigeon Forge RV Resort

Winter is a magical time in the Smoky Mountains, TN, and at Pigeon Forge RV Resort, we ensure your stay is warm and worry-free. Winterizing your RV is crucial for a comfortable experience. 

Drain and Protect Your Water Systems

The first step in winterizing your RV is to drain and protect your water systems. This involves emptying all fresh, gray, and black water tanks and thoroughly flushing the system. Use non-toxic RV antifreeze to protect the pipes from freezing. Remember to bypass the water heater to avoid filling it with antifreeze. This process is crucial in preventing any water left in the lines from freezing and causing damage.

Heating and Ventilation

Ensure your heating system is in good working order. Clean and replace filters, and consider using a space heater for additional warmth. However, be mindful of safety and avoid leaving heaters unattended. Proper ventilation is also crucial to prevent condensation—which can lead to mold and mildew. Keep a roof vent slightly open to allow for air circulation.

Additional Winterizing Steps for a Secure Stay

Beyond the basics, take extra steps to secure your RV. Vacuum storage bins to deter pests, check and seal any exterior gaps, and ensure your sewer hoses are clean and stored. Stabilize your RV with wheel chocks and consider a protective cover to shield it from winter elements. These additional measures protect your RV and enhance your comfort during your holiday.
