We found in winter you got to get the rag out of your a$$ and hussel and get those god dam hoses rolled up.  That will eliminate most of your problems?Guitar]]> Mon, 15 Feb 2010 08:29:53 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6431&PID=158867&title=frozen-water-hose-again#158867 <![CDATA[frozen water hose again : Take a couple lengths of hose...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6431&PID=158834&title=frozen-water-hose-again#158834 Author: cleanex

Take a couple lengths of hose off the reel and keep them up front where there is heat on those cold days.  We work in similar conditions as you do and that is what we do, never had a freeze problems between jobs.  Have had the odd one during a difficult set up.]]> Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:46:40 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6431&PID=158834&title=frozen-water-hose-again#158834 <![CDATA[frozen water hose again : hello .....

I did the electric blanket only to discover that it had an automatic timer on it.  It took me a while to find anything that wouldn't shut off automatically.]]> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 08:12:33 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6431&PID=158777&title=frozen-water-hose-again#158777 <![CDATA[frozen water hose again : Run your water out then pour the...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6431&PID=158768&title=frozen-water-hose-again#158768 Author: John L

Carpetpro, your butler came with a manual, look under witerization, but here is how to do it.

The butler system came with the hose.  if not, take a garden hose(3 feet long) and connect it to the panel, put that hose into window washing fluid.  Close off the fresh water tank valve and start the pump, this will draw fluid through the machine.  When the pressure hose starts pumping out window washing fluid close the valve.

If your winterizing over night, you must then keep the pump running and allow the pressure hose to fill with air.

Maybe not! How do you run washer fluid through your hose? How would I run it though my pump without filling up my water tank and pumping away?! (I own a butler too)

running propane in the back of a van bro?  Im not sure thats legal or safe
 
can you winterize the hose quick ed?  it takes 30 seconds for my butler to empty the hose out and replace it with window washing fluid.

Hi Ed,

You might not even need to throw an electric blanket on it- a thick insulated blanket should do the trick. If it doesn't here is what I would do as a low cost temporary way to keep the back of the van warm enough so your solution hose doesn't freeze.
Go to a camping store (Walmart might have it) and purchase a propane heater for 60 bucks- get the one that uses the small green cans of LP. One of those running will keep it aboove freezing for sure. Do YOUR part in the safety arena by securing the heater so that it doesn't fall (even if it does it has automatic shutoff)  and roll your window down for a few seconds every half hour or so. 

When winter camping I sleep with one on all night and I have never had any problems with ventilation or fires.
