Winterizing with compressed air has nothing to do with the p-traps. The author conflates the two. The compressed air clears the water lines. RV antifreeze protects the p-traps. It's not either/or.

Better yet........GO SOUTH! Ah.....forget I said that! I do like the emptiness in the south so far this season!

I typically take the extra step to blow out the lines first. That way as soon as pink starts coming out of the faucet, it is near/at full strength. Otherwise, the first few seconds of pink are diluted, so you will either have less protection, or will run it out the faucet longer and use more. Of course always remember to put several ounces down the drains - something just blowing out the supply lines does not address.
