I open the faucets, stick the air compressor's hose into the fresh water fill spout, and let her run until no more water comes out. It isn't part of the plumbing system at all. It's the same thing you'd toss into the trunk in case you had a low tire, or needed to air up a bicycle tire.BizmarksMom wrote:
As far as dealing with water lines in the winter; it takes me all of 10 minutes to uncap the drain lines, open the faucets, and blow the water out. When I want to use the trailer, I just put the caps back on, fill the water tank, and head out.
It's seriously not a big deal.
What are these air compressors called and what brand should I get? Where do they go in the plumbing system? Do they have a rate of failure? I'm just nervous they won't get all the water out
