1. First I drained all water from the lines using the valves underneath the trailer - i presume this also drained my hot water tank because I then
2. Undid the 1 1/16" nut holding in the hot water anode to find it was completely empty in there, the anode needs to be replaced.
3. I then looked at the water tank and found it had about 1/4 of a tank of water in there so I turned the pump on and drained as much water out of it as possible. There is still water left in the tank about 1" of water (looks unable to be drained).
4. Closed the valves under the trailer and hooked up the air to the water intake - Turned on each tap individually until no more water (only air) was coming out, also flushed the toilet until only air came out.
5. Opened the valves again and released the air pressure and any residual water in the lines.
6. Poured one gallon of Antifreeze down the drains leading to grey water tank and one gallon of antifreeze down the toilet.
Anything else? Again not sure what to do with the water tank and the hot water tank. I mainly did this today due to the sub zero temps coming at the end of this week.
