Blowing out water lines in Class A
Apologies if this was answered in previous posts. I suspect there is a very simple answer. This forum and YouTube have been very helpful yet I have one open question: I plan to winterize my RV us...

When I do it, I just make double-dog sure that some faucet is open at all times; at no time is the system closed so that pressure builds up too much. So run faucet #1 (or other water outlet) until it's blowing air; go to faucet #2, turn it on, and go back to faucet #1 and turn it off. Same process throughout.
I also bypass the water heater and pull the plug to drain it. No sense in trying to use air to blow out all the water that a water heater contains. ALso, don't forget little ones like shower head, toilet sprayer (if equipped), outdoor shower or other like outdoor faucets (if equipped), and so forth.
Where we live now, I use pink stuff only in all of the drains plus the toilet. When we lived at altitude and extreme cold was an issue, we pumped the whole system (minus water heater) with pink stuff.

Thanks for the input. If I go to an air compressor - isn't there a gizzmo to ensure I don't push too high pressure into the RV? Do most air compressor's have a feature to limit pressure?
