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...

So now I know why I’m confused, the manual for mine makes no such admonition (page 8 in the attached link) against using compressed air to winterize.
I guess we’ve been lucky that in 10 years and winterizing multiple times each year we’ve never had any issues, nor our friends who also use air on theirs.
AquaHot Manual clicky
Depends upon the model of Aqua Hot on whether they place that warning in the Owner's Manual or not it appears.
From my Aqua Hot Manual, "WARNING! YOU CANNOT BLOW DOMESTIC WATER
COIL OUT WITH AIR TO WINTERIZE AQUA-HOT."
Doesn't make sense if using compressed air "correctly" ........
I suspect it’s another instance like the need to ‘exercise’ a generator, even though nothing but the ownership of Onan changed, suddenly there was a need to run them on a monthly basis or all sorts of terrible things would happen.
I'm not really understanding you. One of your first posts in response to mine you stated you blow your's out because the manufacture said so. Then you post the actual manual that tells you to specifically use anti- freeze "because of the Aqua hot ( which I copied and pasted).
But you explained your puzzlement and that just because it wasn't printed that you couldn't just blow it out, actually meant you could? I don't get that reasoning. Just because nothing has happened doesn't mean it won't.
They don't print things just because. I'd suspect the manufactures know what they're doing and the reason it's printed. Kind of like people not checking their tire pressures before each trip. It was fine all along ... Until they have a blow out and then blame the tire manufacture.
Again .... Know your systems and read the manuals. As you can see with this thread, everyone has an opinion. Manuals aren't opinions.
