Going to winterize my unit today. the valve in the lower right I have no idea what it is for, and can not find any info in the manual. It is a Forest River Sandpiper 365SAQ.

I am hoping to be able to camp till the end of October. Otherwise I will winterize when I have to.

I hate to see the posts start about winterizing, it seems like camping season just started.I guess it is coming for us all here in the north soon,I am not looking forward to it.

Zell66--yes, you are spot on. Make sure you turn your pump on and turn the red lever to bypass for the water heater. I take out the anode on the bottom and open the pressure relief vavle on the top to help it drain. You do not need to add anti-freeze to the water heater.

Thank you for the information.

So i use the hose just under the city water supply to draw up the antifreeze and the valve is for that hose?

I have the same trailer. It is used to draw the antifreeze out of the hose that goes into the bottle instead of drawing from the fresh water holding tank. I had to figure it our the hard way.
