Winterization Air vs Chemicals...... Your 2 cents please

First timer Looking for the experienced voices to throw in your 2 cents as to using the RV anti-freeze vs blowing out the lines with air (like the sprinkler system @ home). The TT will be stored...

I blow out with air (40psi). Then I introduce antifreeze through the pump pick up designed to winterize the pipes. I do this because I worry about the pipe between the pump and the place where the outlet pipe connects with the city water intake, which would not blow out with the air.

I suppose I could disconnect the outlet side of the pump but I have never done that.
