Blow out winterizing question
I have blown out all of the lines 3 times now, I just keep thinking a little water will pool somewhere and freeze - call me paranoid. Question; when you blow out, does that take care of the fresh wate...

What am I missing, can't figure out why the lines need blown out, then pump in antifreeze.? I've blown them out, not using the pink stuff, last year used the pink stuff. I but a bunch when it is on sale so get it for about $3. Cheap peace of mind if we get. cold snap and flushes easy the 2 or 3 times we winter camp
I blow the lines out AND use the pink. There are two ways to get your fresh water when camping - city water or the fresh water tank via the pump, I blow out the lines using the city water inlet and I pull in the pink stuff using the pump after I drain the fresh water tank.
I worried that the city water line might still contain water if I simply pumped the pink stuff, since there is a check valve at the inlet that could create an air block and hold some water in that line. Blowing that line out eliminates that possibility.
So blowing the lines out, then pumping the pink stuff covers all the bases in my opinion.
