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...

Can blowing it out be enough? Yes it could, depending where you live and "if " you do it right, and have no systems needing more protection.
Some of the excuses not to use antifreeze are pretty funny. Even using antifreeze you can still have broken pipes if not done right.
Proper procedures are of course needed with any winterization method.
I'm rather puzzled by the idea that where one lives would matter here, though. The only geographic question is whether one needs to winterize at all or not; if it gets cold enough to be necessary, then it is cold enough to need to be done properly. Blowing out the lines is fine for temperatures far below zero, just as antifreeze is; neither air nor antifreeze will freeze and expand and burst pipes.
I'm also a bit puzzled what systems might need "more" protection than not having water in them, but I'm not familiar with every possible RV plumbing fixture so maybe am ignorant there.
