Yeah, that's mostly it. I'd like to avoid the whole de- and re-winterization routine if I'm gonna be on the road again in a few weeks. I've gotten some good ideas from these comments.
In that case, here's how we operate as we use the RV year round. Between winter trips I dump the water (including water heater), blow out the lines with compressed air (40 PSI) and dump some anti freeze in the P traps and prime the (empty) waste tank valves with some. Takes about 1 gallon. When we prep for a trip, it's load with water, burp the system and go. No fuss, mo muss.
That assumes going into unplugged/unheated storage.
