You can buy adapter to connect air compressor to hose connection. be careful of pressure. I always leave one valve open so pressure doesn't build up too high.

Also, be sure your compressor doesn't have oil in its output. There are many models that are not oil-free.

I have a tankless dc compressor. However, minute amount of oil can't be any worse than that pink stuff.

Assuming your in springfield, like your post says, at least your not likely to see temps really really cold for a long time, but it only takes overnight at about 20F for problems to happen. We live in portland, all we do is blow out the lines, empty the HW tank, pour some pink stuff in the p traps and done for the year. Biggest thing to remember is to take ALL the liquid stuff you have in the pantry, etc. that could freeze out and store it in the house. I just wait till the first good freeze is predicted (down in the mid 20's) before I do anything, that way if good weather comes up for a trip I'm still ready.

Here you go. Your post got moved to the Beginning RVing forum and here's another that should help you:

THANKS SO MUCH for the help!! :D

I'm not sure but I think you would winterize in Oregon the same way as you would anywhere else. Pump pink stuff through all the pipes and pour some in the drains. Another way is to connect a air compressor to the city inlet and open the facets to blow the water out, then pour antifreeze down the drains.
