After all of this follow up regarding the use of air and the presence of a washer, I will only add that I will continue to use the manufacturers procedure for winterizing. I have concerns that the air method leaves too much chance of water remaining in the washer pump and valves. The other thing I will add is it takes us a little over a gallon of antifreeze to do the washer and another couple of gallons for the rig. Total expense of about $12 to $16 depending on sale prices. I will continue to buy my pink insurance. Make your decisions based on your comfort level, I did and have never had a problem. I also use the same pink insurance in our boat, and feel confident that the price of this insurance is worth it! As always, my opinion, and my rationale for my choice.
