The weather forecast is for historic low temps all the way into Florida today (Feb 18, 2015). Even if you're in the south, if you have a water dispenser or ice maker in your refrigerator, and haven't winterized that line, today is the day to do so.
On most floor plans where the refrigerator is in a slideout, the water feed line is routed under the slide and is exposed to outside air. If temperatures drop below freezing, the 1/4" poly will be damaged, resulting in leaks. Some leaks may be inside the coach, causing additional problems.
Check the weather forecast for your location, and if it's anywhere near freezing, act now to prevent damage.
Our Winterizing Guide includes instructions on winterizing the Dometic RM1350. The Norcold process will be similar. The Residential Refrigerator Guide describes the process for the 22 cu ft. Frigidaire. LG and Samsung will be similar.
