When your pink stuff freezes it is too cold. Otherwise it is just cold hot air

No pink stuff in plumbing supply lines this winter... just traps & toilet. This cold snap is the true test... if nothing's busted next spring, I'll be a card carrying member of the "No-pink-in-the-plumbing" club!

I have been member for 3 years. They do verify that you have a working air compressor with appropriate adapters before accepting new membership applications

It all depends on how the coach is plumbed. In mine the low point, water tank and outside shower allow the lines to be blown except the line from the water tank to the Tee where city water goes into the coach system. The anti-back-flow valve just in-front of the water pump prevents air from flowing through the pump. After opening all the valves I have to turn off the water tank isolation valve and blow air through the pump before blowing out the rest of the coach. Maybe a picture would help?

After blowing out everything on the pressure side of the pump, I open the fresh tank valve and use the winterizing (poly line on suction side of pump) to blow any water on the suction side back into the tank. Drain the tank... rinse and repeat... even run the pump dry.

Not sure if or how this could affect me?

My coach does NOT have a Fresh water tank drain (per se).

I use the fresh water pump to pump it all to the supply side and with both sets of low points drains open; it flows to the ground. When I blow later ( drains closed), I do nothing on the fresh water side. The pump is on when testing the air spitting so any water that may be left from fresh water tank is being pushed through facets.
