Do I need to fully winterize and unwinterize the motorhome each time? Is there a way to avoid this? It seems like it would be an expensive thing to have to do and undo multiple times during the winter.
Not being a smart a$$, but you only have to winterize your RV anytime you don't want the water pipes to freeze and burst. You live where it gets very cold for days on end. Not winterizing will guarantee you a repair bill in the spring.
Between uses if, and that is a big if, the weather does not go below freezing then you are safe. Otherwise, you must winterize or keep the RV heated to prevent freezing.
The chemicals flush out well, and I know of no one having any ill effects from using a system that was winterized.
You can try blowing air through the system but that is not fool proof.
