Question for "Blow Out the Water Line" gurus
I have always used the pink stuff, but am thinking of coming over to the dark side. (DW asks "why"?) My question: There is pex tubing from the water pump to the first junction going up to a faucet/...

I love to know how people can equate a lawn sprinkler system with a water supply system. A sprinkler system has black pipe and sprinkler heads, that's pretty much it. Doesn't have toilets, shut off valves, hot water heater, faucets, shower heads, pumps, strainers, ice makers, dish washers, black tank sprayers, outside showers, etc...
All RV's are different both from the standpoint of the manufacturer and what some prior owner did to them. Using pink stuff you're pretty much guaranteed not to have a problem.
Blowing out the lines you'll more then likely be just fine. If not, you'll know what to do the next year when you fix the busted part in the spring.Then next winter you can write on the forum how blowing out the lines down in Tennessee, won't work up in Manitoba and you need to do more.

I think this is one factor that is often overlooked on forum advice on winterizing.
Location, Location, Location of where the RV is stored for the winter.
Where the guy that blows out the lines lives, versus where the OP asking the question lives.
Do they really get all the water out? or because of where they live... Did it ever get cold enough 'long' enough to freeze what was really left behind in the lines.
