Artie and Karen,
I will give you some quick advice on de-winterizing so you can get it done and take your first trip.
For more details on this, visit the Heartland Owners Forum. Same for winterizing. Also, open the off-door-side storage door at the UDC and look for a sticker stuck to the inside of that door on the process.
Some basics to de-winterizing your Augusta:
1. Outside at the UDC, flip the Winterize valve to Normal. DO NOT move the Water Heater Bypass Valve yet.
2. Add water to your fresh water tank, turn on the water pump
3. Connect city water to the City Water connection in the UDC - DO NOT turn the water on yet
4. Go inside the RV and run every cold water tap until all the anti-freeze (usually pink) is clear of the lines.
5. Do the same for the shower, the toilet, the washer/dryer connections and the outside shower. Ice maker is trickier so I will not detail here
6. Turn water pump OFF
7. Turn water ON for City Water connection
8. Repeat steps 3 & 4
9. Back outside in the UDC, rotate the Water Heater Bypass valve to Normal
10. Repeat steps 3 & 4 but for the hot water taps
11. Turn water OFF for City Water connection
Done
For the Ice Maker - either deal with several rounds of pink ice cubes or, force the ice maker to into several ice harvest cycles. The process is in the Dometic manual for the refer
