I’ve used air for many years and have had no problems. The exception to using air is the water pump, no good way to get the water out.
Open all your faucets then open all low point drains until everything is empty then close everything. The water pump is under the rear seat of the dinette, the is a capped stub to use for pulling in antifreeze. I hook up the antifreeze, open the bathroom cold water faucet (it’s the closest to the pump) then run the pump until I get pink from the faucet. There are valves at the pump to switch from the water tank to the stub.
I use air to blow out water from everything else, set compressor to 55-60 psi. Don’t forget the outside kitchen and shower. When I’m finished with the air I put antifreeze in all the traps, again, don’t forget the outside kitchen. Don’t forget to run the pump for the outside kitchen sink drain.
I can usually get everything done in about 20-30 min.
