For those that use air.
If you run your compressor just blowing air out for 5 min doesn't the air smell of oil, even if you have an oil separator.
I think an important issue for using air is getting clean air, but I never see it discussed.

Every RV I've seen at RV shows has RV antifreeze in it. So that is how the manuf tests the system and winterizes it. Believe me if a manuf. could save a few bucks on each unit they sell them they would just blow them out, but yet they don't.

Here is my question; If this way is the better way to winterize, why don't the RV places use this method instead of the antifreeze method?

My question is how does the red pop or air pressure feed back through the line coming from the water tank. I never have seen red pop feed back to the water tank. One would think water accumulates their. Unless the low point drain empties that line, which then would explain it.

Not sure I understand the issue with antifreeze.
I don't think there is a an issue with antifreeze. Just a personal choice.
Many probably don't like the aftertaste of the antifreeze. Even flushing the lines can leave a taste. It may absorb into the plastic pipe. I don't know.
I tried both methods, I like air the best. Just my choice.
I guess it matters if you drink the water. I use bottled water so it's not an issue for me.
