Hello,
I know its only August but unfortunately winter is coming faster than we want.
On my previous 5th wheel I connected a blow plug to the city water inlet and used a small compressor to blow out the water lines. With the new 5th wheel it has a Nautilus P1 water control system where you flip the various levers to perform whatever function needed.
My questions:
Can / should I blow out the water lines? If yes then should I set the system to winterize for this?
How do I winterize the black tank rinse that is part of this system? Can I blow out this line as well?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, you can blow out all the lines including the black tank flush. Put some pink RV stuff in the traps which cannot be blown out and you are done. Do you have a washing machine? The drain line behind there will need some pink stuff, too.
