If temperatures are expected to be below freezing, the motorhome rental company will have prepared for the conditions by winterizing your RV. This is important to protect the vehicle's plumbing system against damage.
To winterize the vehicle, the motorhome rental company will drain all of the water from the vehicle. The system is then pumped with antifreeze. Representatives from the motorhome rental company can provide you with more information about this process.
