After spending 3 winters in Fairbanks, Alaska (-55F is the coldest I saw on the few times I stayed up to look at the outdoor thermometer), and using just the air method, I can attest that it works fine. Takes less than an 1/2 hour to be back living in the RV in the spring. And no horrible pink stuff taste for days afterwards either.
If it were that easy I would blow my lines out too - it gets a little more complicated with wash machines, dishwashers, ice makers. Its just easier and faster for me to use pink.
It actually IS that easy. If you blow all (almost all) of the water out of all the lines there is nothing to freeze enough to cause any issues. Throw some anti-freeze down into the J-traps and you are all done. The OP says that he then pumps RV anti-freeze through the lines but this is completely unnecessary. It's a great video right up to that point but then it goes off track. I guess you have to do something to keep your YouTube channel on track but this is not one of those videos that folks using the blow out method need to follow.
