As dstankov said - 'dry winterizing' is very quick, simple - and really no effort to 'dewinterize'...
Blowing out the lines a few times in the fall (each time you use it and return to storage) just to be safe is quick/cheap insurance.
When I was in (southeast) Michigan - typically did so by the end of October... If I used the rig again - just put the plug back in the hot water heater - open the bypass valve and go...
Only thing I'd add is pouring some RV antifreeze down the drains... insuring the traps - and any liquid left in tanks/drain pipes to the valve after dumping was mixed with anti-freeze.
(Even 'wet winterizing' is simple - but you will use a couple of gallons of RV antifreeze each time - and need to flush the lines with fresh water before using...)
