newbie winterizing question

ellie88

We live in NC on the coast, and will not be using our t@b320s for any trips till February or March.  Do I need to winterize camper if all the water tanks are empty?  Could I just leave all faucets open or is it necessary to do more?  thanks to you all!

Depends on how low the temps might get.  I know on the SC coast it can drop below freezing routinely.  If it drops below freezing at night and warms up during the day, you should be ok.  But, the longer it stays below freezing, the more risk you take of pipe damage.  

I live in Southern California, and since I would like to take some winter trips that might include freezing temps, I learned the "blow out method"  using a small compressor.  It isn't hard to do, it is easy to "dewinterize."  I might not need to do it, but I wanted the skill set.  You can find examples here:
