Welcome to the forum!![]()
If you run any fresh water through any of the plumbing of the Pod (either through the onboard pump/fresh water tank OR with a "city" water hook up) you will need to winterize again.
If you only drain waste water, in the sink, or use the toilet (using a bucket or jug of water) then you should be OK. However, you would need to pour anti-freeze in the sink trap OR disassemble it and drain/empty any water.
Winterizing is not a huge deal, once you have done it a time or two. Being your first time and the late-ness of the season, I would probably forgo using any plumbing in the Pod.
Also, the toilet has no trap. You could use that by using a small bucket of water to flush with. When you leave, just dump the black tank. If you DO use the sink, dump the grey tank also.
Good luck/have fun!
