Dewinterizing tankless water heater

[Lmaniac7]

Hello all!
I will be dewinterizing my motorhome for the first time. My Royal Imperial has a tankless water heater and I am wondering if this has any impact on the process. It will be my first time dewinterizing anything, truth be told, but most of the videos I have watched explain the process assuming there is a tank.
Thanks in advance and may you have a wonderful season!

Your owner's manual should have a section in it titled Summer De-Winterizing. Recommend you read that section. Since your Born Free is equipped with a tankless water heater, there is no need for any special procedures to get the pink antifreeze out of it.

Hi, Lia. We have a tankless hot water heater and the only instruction in the BF manual regarding winterizing the water heater is to turn it off. There is an on/off switch behind the panel for the hot water heater on the back of the coach. We have had no issues winterizing the water system following the instructions in the BF manual. Also, for our generation 2 model, the manufacturer has a very good tutorial online video that is helpful, especially with respect to getting the hot water operational after dewinterizing. You need to purge the lines to remove all air before turning the water heater back on.

Thank you Bill and Chuck for your replies. The tankless system actually makes the process so easy! Planning to dewinterize this weekend. If I hit any bumps along the way, I will be back for more guidance!

Chuck...thanks for the video recommendation. That should help a bunch!!

Hi, Lia, just to be clear, I referred to a video produced by the manufacturer of the tankless hot water heater, not a Born Free video.
