RE: Winterizing
Canadian responder: Yep, you're right about cheap insurance. I'm not trying to save money, just wondered what others thought. Seems the Wisconsin and Oklahoma folks feel the same way about clearing lines. Will have antifreeze on hand just in case we drop to North Pole temps. Not a real prob to do.

Winterizing
This is directed to Oklahoma RVers...but others welcomed to chime in.
This is my first winter home in 3 years. With previous trailers and smaller Class C, I did only partial winterizing: Blew out water lines, drained water heater and on board water. This done because if weather permitted, we went out in the rigs. This process seemed to work and had no problems.
Will do the same this year if weather permits (no snow, ice, dangerous driving conditions). But until then, I've blown out water lines, drained on board water and water heater, put anti freeze in sink traps and toilets and left all valves open. RV is in shelter with opening that faces west.
Unless we have a ungodly record breaking winter like last year (when we weren't here), should I consider fully winterizing by running anti freeze in the lines?
Yeah,I know, who knows what it will do. If I see it going like last year, I'll do the full winterizing, but would like to keep option open for winter use as noted above.
Always appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks!
P.S. Located 25 miles south of Tulsa.

RE: Unplugging
How is dielectric grease applied? To the prongs of power cord? Inside the female pig tail?

RE: Unplugging
Why wouldn't Vaseline do the job? I use that for light bulbs to prevent corrosion. Seems Socket Lube does the same thing. As for the Camco Powergrip, that's what I'm talking about when using 50-30 amp pigtail. Once you make the connection, King Kong couldn't disconnect them. This isn't a problem about worn or damaged plugs...my rig is new. It's a tight fit which is good. Has nothing to do with power posts.

Unplugging
I use a 50-30 amp pigtail when necessary and always use either a 50 or 30 amp surge protector. It's often difficult to unplug these components. Does anyone have a secret to unplugging these things without prying them loose? Evidently I don't eat enough Wheaties! Thanks!

RE: Unplug when using generator?
W4MBG:
Sure I do! I could charge twice as much for power and maybe...and that's a long shot...have enough $$$ for diesel fuel!

Unplug when using generator?
Should I unplug from shore power when using generator when shore power goes out? Have heard conflicting opinions. Thanks.
