Is it safe to just drain your tanks to winterize?

CCC

Been getting mid 20's here in GA for a while in the winter. Any real reason to do anything other than drain the tanks?

I’m up in TN and we have freeze warnings coming. Drain tanks and either blow out plumbing or run RV antifreeze thru your system using your water pump. Lots of plastic plumbing parts can freeze and break.

Yes you absolutly need to do more than just drain the tanks. You need to winterize.   There are videos posted here in how to winterize that are tailored to your model.
