One reader told me that his printing has been wore off (or faded or whatever) of his Esco convenience center and the settings for the three valves is not documented in the Open Range Manual.

Esco is not particularly easy to find on the internet, and the convenience center looks to be a CUSTOM product rather than a normal product – which means you might be out of luck finding the diagrams. Fortunately, RV52 has found them and put them here for you.

Before continuing, I (Mr. RV52) have made a number of water/plumbing related articles that might also help you:

  • Finding the fresh water inlets in a fifth wheel RV – very basic
  • Fresh water fill connector – oriented towards tank fill
  • Fresh water connection – normal connection
  • How to Winterize your RV – Lots of assorted videos on the subject
  • How to Sanitize your RV Fresh Water – Video how to series

I wrote Esco (the maker of the convenience center) and they provided some diagrams which I include in this article for everyones convenience. I’m not going to put much text in the article as I’m hoping the captions are self explanatory.

    This is my first year to winterize my Open Range RV. I am a little confused as to which valve setting to use when putting antifreeze in my plumbing. I have the winterize valves facing down and the hot water by pass with the first one to the left and the other 2 facing down. I do know not to put antifreeze in the hot water tank. Will using the winterize valve setting antifreeze from going into my hotwater tank?

    Not having done this for our Open Range… I can only speculate after looking at the pictures over and over again. It looks like when you put in the WINTERIZE setting (all pointing down) it sends it everywhere BUT the water heater. Those are terrible description drawings.

    Thanks for the reply. I will be using the winterizing setting. It is a bad description.

    Thanks again,

    Larry
