I have a 2018 Coachman Freelander and winterizing for the first time. I’ll be using off and on through the winter so I’m hoping to avoid pumping antifreeze and simply blowing the lines.
I started by draining the water heater, fresh water tank and low point drains. After water drained I closed the low point drains, by-passed the water heater and used an air compressor at the city water inlet to blow air through the lines opening each valve, sink and shower, one at a time until all water came through and only air was coming out. I pushed the toilet flush pedal until air came through. Then poured a cup full of pink antifreeze into each trap, sink, shower and toilet.
I believe I was able to get all the water out but wanted to see if any experienced campers out there see any flaws to my approach. Thanks for any input.
