- Winterizing an Aliner is easy, and you can save a good amount of money doing it yourself!
We have an Aliner Ranger and are sharing exactly how we winterize our camper using a small pancake compressor. You only need a few tools to get the job done.

A couple of things I've learned with my Aliner.
1. When removing the two drain caps under the floor, do not lose the washers that are in the caps! They will sometimes stick to the end of the drain pipe and can fall off without you knowing it. Believe me . . . I know from experience.
2. As an extra precaution with the outdoor shower, the shower hose can be unscrewed from the valve assembly. This way, the entire shower hose can be stored well drained and inside the camper if you want.
Really good video guys! Thanks!
Thanks for adding your tips!!
i just bought a aliner lxe i only went out once but had fun you tought me a few tricks thanks., however i live in Arizona not too worried about freezing 😂 thanks for the informative video.
Awesome!! Have fun out there ☀️ 🌵
It is interesting to watch your videos because we also have an Aliner Ranger 12, which we really enjoy. This video lead me to make one recommendation and ask one question:
(1) If there is water in the water heater, ALWAYS relieve the pressure in that tank BEFORE you loosen the anode rod -- especially if you are sanitizing the system with bleach. DAMHIKT. 🙄
(2) Does the "blow-out" technique clear water from the water pump? A small amount of water in the water pump will freeze, expand, and ruin the seals. Perhaps running the water pump while the air compressor is providing pressure will clear the pump. [I winterize our camping by using antifreeze, so I have no experience with the blow-out method.]
Thanks for the video. 👍👍
You guys have a nice camper...happy CAMPING !!
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays
If you open the bottom drain plug for the hot water before opening the valve on the heater you’ll only have water come out the plug. Otherwise yes it splashes open without the plug open.
Great video, thank you!
Do you use a plug for the hot water heater? If so, which one? Thanks for the video! Just bought a Ranger 12 and am learning how to winterize without antifreeze.
Hi, do you store your Aliner outside? If so, do you leave it with the walls up or down?. Planning to buy one and I need to know if storing it outside in cold weather areas is possible. Thanks for your videos.
Hi Eduardo, we do store ours outside, but we lower it and secure it. We live where there are all four seasons and have had no issues storing it in the cold. We do cover it with an RV cover (got one on Amazon). Let us know if you have more questions. Happy camping!
Great video!! Couple of questions: 1. Looks like you’ve replaced the horrific lights inside your Aliner with the bright blue light that keeps me awake all night… was it hard? 2. Do you have any idea what the replacement anode model is for the Suburban water heater?
Hi there! The lights in our camper are the original. Ours is a 2019. Give Aliner a call about replacement parts. They are always helpful when we call them 👍
I usually run RV anti freeze solution through my water pump to make sure it doesn't suffer internal ice damage.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing that tip. ❄️
Finally found how to specifically winterize an Aliner!!! Your video rocks!!!! Thank you sooo Much!!!😊
@@klmonahan5461 Thank for watching. So glad it is helpful. Happy camping ⛺️
What about the p trap?
There is no p trap on this unit. It’s just a straight pipe 👍 (for the sink).
I used a shop vac reversed to blow the p-trap on mine out. Reversed it again to vacuum the p-trap out as well. Hope this helps!
@@ramblingreuben Thanks for sharing.
what model aliner is that?
Hey! Aliner Ranger 12
