Before I left it, for some reason I decide to check the tanks. They aint empty! What kind of winterizing is that? Did they put something in the black and grey or did they not dump them? I have had the HTT for 4 years now and don't recall checking in the past. I'll call the dealer Monday morning. thanks 2007 Kodiak 214 HTT mwebber78 • View posts Maine Senior Member Joined: 08/07/2005 View Profile Posted: 10/31/09 01:50pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator You sure the sensor isn't stuck? How full is it, 1/3? Feezing liquid in the tank isn't a huge worry as there is lots of room.

Today when I parked it and saw those readings I decide to open the grey a bit, sure enough some water came out. I know for sure when I brought it to the dealer they grey was totally empty. mwebber78 • View posts Maine Senior Member Joined: 08/07/2005 View Profile Posted: 10/31/09 01:58pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Understood, how full are they reading Ken? 1kennyOG • View posts Toronto Senior Member Joined: 01/22/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/31/09 02:00pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator 1/2 and 2/3 1kennyOG • View posts Toronto Senior Member Joined: 01/22/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/31/09 02:04pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I think there was a reading on the fresh too. I was in a big rush, so I'll have to go back next weekend and check. They charged me $19 to dump so when I pull the valve that should have been bone dry. skipnchar • View posts Topeka Kansas USA Senior Member Joined: 12/17/2003 View Profile Posted: 10/31/09 02:07pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator If they pumped antifreeze through your water lines there would HAVE to be some sent down the sink, tubs and toilet so the tanks would have some liquid in them. Tanks should NEVER be stored completely empty anyway because any remaining solids will turn to stone and be next to impossible to remove. 2004 F-250 SCREW Long Bed (new) OR 2004 F-150 HD (85,000 towing miles) Rockwood 8314SS 34' travel trailer We have enough YOUTH...how about a fountain of SMART 1kennyOG • View posts Toronto Senior Member Joined: 01/22/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/31/09 02:29pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator makes a lot of sense. now I can forget about it thanks guys. smkettner • View posts Southern California Senior Member Joined: 03/21/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Posted: 10/31/09 02:30pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Do they guarantee against freeze damage? 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS Chuck_S • View posts Broadview Hts, OH, USA Senior Member Joined: 03/15/2002 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/01/09 07:59am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Standard RV tank sensors are notorious for false readings. The tanks may indeed be empty with just a slight bit of water in them. The ice trays in your refrigerator freeze daily without harm because the water can expand. Works the same way in your camper tankage. A slight amount of water in there can freeze harmlessly. Not so in the closed confines of your pipes and valves. -- Chuck '06 Roo 23SS behind '07 Expedition out of Cleveland Our Photo pages Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Hybrid Travel Trailers  > Your tanks in the winter?
