I and many of my camper friends have blown out lines for decades and not had any problems. But, our climate doesn't get real cold and for very long, figure 15F for a few days at most, often less, so even below freezing the inside of the trailer and some of the lines don't get below freezing if it warms up during the day.
And we all us pink stuff in the traps.
Just take your time and continue blowing out the lines for 30 seconds or so after it starts blowing air. And blow out the black tank rinser as well.
And the pex lines in todays trailers are more freeze damage resistant than copper. Pex will exand rather than rupture like copper.
However, I know folks in the midwest who blow out lines and don't have problems either.
I prefer blowing out the lines rather than the pink stuff since it makes it MUCH easier and quicker to go camping. No flushing, just fill up and go.
