Hey I’m Walt from Alabama. We just purchased a 2007 FF 240X that, other than a couple small issues its awesome shape. We previously had a 17ft hybrid cub but sold it once the kids were consumed with sports during the spring and fall, (Camping in the summer is no fun in the south). So now the kids cut back on sports we have a lot more time, hence the new FF.
Now to the trailer. Had to replace the porch light because the cover was a lose fit. Replaced with an LED version. Heater didn’t work so I replaced the thermostat and bingo. The past couple of days I’ve performed all the maintenance to include washing and waxing, rubberized roof treatment, doused it with a water hose at every seam/joint (no leaks), ordered a cover, and resealed suspect looking seems, and checked all systems. Now the hard part, WAITING until Thanksgiving to take it out.
Couple questions. I winterized it just in case of a rare freeze. Like my last camper I use the compressed air method and anti freeze in the pee traps. This camper has a water sanitizer canister. Does this have to be removed for winterizing? I did remove it but there was no water left in it so I would assume it would have been safe to leave in place, Thoughts??
2nd question. My driveway isn’t level. As longs as I don’t run the fridge and chalk the wheels any harm (structurally) storing/parking on a slant?
