I've owned my 85 westy full camper for less than a year, and it's
never seen temperatures below freezing.  I'm taking it to the
mountains tonight.  Any advice on what to do or not to do to
'winterize' it?  I don't think the temperatures will drop below 20F.


- Do I need to drain the fresh water tank?
- Do I need to evacuate all water from the sinnk water pump & tubing?
- It has a low oil pressure problem, so I've been running 20w50.  Is
this going to cause trouble?
- any issues with running the fridge in cold weather?  Do I have to
worry about icing or will the thermostat work.


All advice appreciated -- thx!
