How NOT to Winterize Your Camper

After 7 years of ownership of campers I should have this down pretty good.

1) DON'T ever leave unattended running garden hose in bath tub.
(I wonder why there is 3" of water in bath room and lower storage compartment is full of water)

2) DON'T leave your fresh water tank full with water.
(I wonder why water is still running clear and not pink out of all
faucets and where the heck went those 7 gallons
of anti-freeze) Wife can you run to store and get me 7 more
gallons?

3) NEVER leave factory water filter in.
(I wonder why the dam water is still running clear, man I got
another 7 gallons in there)

WIFE, WIFE, can you run to the store? Man those filters really work!

4) NEVER try to fill the tires when your air compressor regulator is turned down to 20psi (previously adjusted to blow out water lines) Why is the dam tire getting low instead of more air?

5) Last but not least, NEVER take your friends CTD with DDII's DTT, VB and hook it up to your trailer for a test drive, man what a difference that DTT stuff makes, that Cummins doesn't even know there is 10,000lbs behind it:

Man this was an expensive week end. Spring is even going to be more expensive if not sooner
