Winterizing the Black Tank Flusher

I been thinking - and I know that is dangerous. :R

We usually break camp in FL earlier than a normal show bird and it was freezing adz cold when we got back to IL this winter. I Winterized with the pink stuff in FL but since I left my head buried in the sand down there Murpy got me.

So now I am repairing a cracked 90 degree elbow in the basement and have the black flow prevention thingey on order.

I am thinking that the reason that the mfg installed an outside shower on my trailer was for the purpose of winterizing the black tank flush line. It seems to me that rigging a tube/hose that could be used for connecting the shower faucet to the tank flusher (which are located next to each other) would take care of my issue.

What do you think of that brain storm? Feasible? :h

    I think a simple blow of the line would work just fine, don't use the "Pink Stuff" just drain and blow the lines. The flusher line could be blown with a had pump.
  • That's what I did. After getting the antifreeze thru the shower head changed nozzles and hooked up to black tank flush.
  • Feasible, and a good idea.
    I just winterize our black tank flusher with a good shot of compressed air.
