Using a hand pump siphon to winterize?

My new TT has a hard to reach water pump. Anyone ever use a hand pump to pump antifreeze into the city water connection? If so, can you recommend one that possibly has a garden hose connection with it?

Thanks.
  • I have always used a manual pump to push anti-freeze thru the city water port.

    You could winterize the whole unit this way if you wanted to.

    Don't forget the exterior water quick connections! Those REQUIRE pressure to force the water out.
  • A hand pump is not exclusive to RV's. Any auto parts store will have tons of types of hand pumps as will all the big box stores.
  • I use a funnel. Works well and cheap too.

    Whoops, misread about the city water port, I was thinking of fresh water port. Sorry.

    Most RV dealers sell these in their parts dept.
  • Looks perfect. Anyone other than Camping World sell it? Can’t stand them.
