Winterizing with Air this time
As the summer is winding down and students are going back to school in a few weeks, I am thinking about trying a new process for winterizing my trailer. I have been using the Antifreeze in the pipes ...

I agree, too early to winterize. I don't do it until late Oct. or even in Nov. even if it got down to 30 its not a hard enough freeze to do any damage.
Use the pink stuff when you are all done.
You have been EXTREMELY lucky. The problem happens at temps just below freezing, not really cold temps. Damage from freezing occurs while the lines are freezing because when converting from liquid to solid water expands. After the ice gets colder it shrinks a little with temperature.There is enough thermal mass around a camper that you can survive a few frosts without issue, but you are playing with fire (well ice actually). Plastic water lines also have a better sense of humour.
