Can I just empty water tanks instead of winterizing?

Use a small air compressor and blow out the lines, no need for the antifreeze. We use the 5er all winter and have done this several times in a winter, or like last year once! Never got cold enough after our New Years trip.

Yeah, I think this is what I'll do. I already have an air compressor, so it makes sense.

Since you're from Portland, do you have any cool spots I should take the RV over the winter? I was told it's fun to watch the storms on the coast.
