Doing more that topping off the glycol tank - 2021 T@B Boondock
I finally got around to reading up on dealing with glycol for the trailer we've had for 4 years. Did the Convector Tour on mine to get the distinct impression that all is well. My current thinking is to gear up to be able to replace a gallon of glycol every year.
Pros? Cons?
And thanks!

We have had our 2019 400 for 6 years, and mainly camp in the Southeast region. I have flushed and refilled the system twice and have not noticed the need to add glycol in the interim.
Perhaps drier regions have evaporation from the reservoir?

I'm one of those that just does the 1-gallon gravity drain 'refresh' every few years not every year and my Alde system seems to be doing fine. Plus I frequently do a winter months trip of 4-7 weeks with Alde on everyday.
Living in the dry west I do have to add 1-3 cups of glycol mix to the reserve tank each year.
