Uhhhh Randy - did I ever mention the time I was in Phoenix in December and it snowed? Then another time in Snowflake, AZ and .... well let's just say that this town was well named.

Oh and that water filter - you are supposed to remove the cartridge when winterizing and something I also had a rude awakening with the last 5er the first time as I never even knew it was there, buried in a kitchen base cupboard corner

Thanks Dave - We'll take our chances out here.. I'd rather shovel sunshine than snow....

I had the very same rude awakening as I did not know it had a filter and like yours, it was buried under the sink..

Didn't your dealership walk you thru and show where everything was?

I bought a used camper because I couldn't afford a new one. The seller / dealer did not know a lot about the unit...

Sure he did - but along with at least 2 hours of other new, never seen on any previous 5er, 'stuff', how long do you think that was retained especially when there was no actual demo of how it works.

I make my trailer take 3 gallons but I like making pink in all the lines. Besides it was even easier this year since I got bypass valve kit for the water pump. With AF being so cheap, it make sense not to change lines in the spring. Still crossing my fingers.
