Perhaps if your RV is in storage for longer than 6 mo or a year the Antifreeze will be better? Or over time (5 years +) the accumulated effects of the air will dry out seals?

I dont know - Dont cost much or take much time either way.

You will still need RV antifreeze for the P traps (sink and shower drains) and the holding tanks. Even if empyy I think its good ideal to put a little in both tanks.
I guess I just haven't experienced that type of problem. I think hard water can cause more of an issue with these seals. Bottom line, I decided to use air primarily because of the ice maker and love how easy it is to do.
