Okay, being new to Arkansas, do we need to winterize our pup?  It is garaged when not in use and we drain the tank and water heater.  Apparently it can get preyty cold here but this is something we have never had to do before.  Help~!

It depends on how cold it gets where you store the pop-up.  If it doesn't freeze, then you don't need to protect the water system from freezing.  But if you are not going to use it for an extended period (winter or not), it is a good idea to remove the battery and anthing that will attract bugs or mice.  Some have said remove the tires, but I have never done so.

Pretty cold is relative.  Here in Minnesota, we have to expect our pop-up to be exposed to -25
