Water Lines/Tanks - Open or Closed in Storage
I wanted to reach out to you all to get your thoughts on valve positioning during storage. Where I live I do not need to worry about winterizing much so my lines are empty while in storage. I personally have been leaving the fresh water tank drain valve open and water heater plug removed while in storage because I've been concerned with trapping moisture during the hot summer months. I am a little concerned that the dry heat will damage any seals and gaskets in the system though. Additionally, there are (2) lines (one white and one red) at the rear of my TT that blow off some water then are generally dry. I'd imagine that these are for the pressurized waterlines inside, correct? Should those be left open while in storage as well?
Lastly, I was always taught to leave some water in both the black and gray storage tanks (approx. 2-3 gallons). I would also put one drop-in in the black tank after dumping/cleaning. Is that a good general practice?
