But add: blow out the the fresh water tank fill line, the black tank flush line, the water pump and all the related lines associated with that, pink stuff for p-trap for washer, any more?
I was a die-hard anti freeze guy for 30 years. Last year I decided to try the air method, no freeze ups or broken lines. I did use a large compressor though that helped.
