2018 Tab 320 Sofitel (Alde)

grc

All,
Any comments / advice appreciated.  I got behind the curve this year and didn't winterize as soon as I normally do.  I thought of doing in two steps on different days.  Day 1: I blew out the lines with compressed air (~45psi) through the water hookup on the left front of the Tab.  I also drained the water tank. (petcock valve just forward of the right wheel.  All good.  I then shut then water drain petcock and filled the water tank with ~3 gal of RV anti-freeze.  I turned on the battery powered water pump and ran the RV antifreeze through the kitchen sink (hot & cold), flushed the toilet well, shower (hot & cold) and the outside water hose / shower.  I then turned on the Alde to heat the inside modestly well above freezing.

Day 2: Today I went through the winterizing procedure with the Alde - drain, change valves from camping to winterize.  All good.  I then ran more RV antifreeze through the system - good flow of RV antifreeze.

QUESTION:  In doing it this way have I compromised the Alde system by running it after my initial blowing out of water and adding RV antifreeze to the water tank?

Any thought appreciated.

No, in fact it is standard operating procedure to run the heat without water in the system when camping in freezing temperatures.

Did you bypass the Alde?
