Blowing out the lines as you suggest can work and it is one of the recommended ways to winterize. In my experience though you have to be pretty careful and run a LOT of air to be sure no water remains in the faucet assemblies. PEX water lines are somewhat freeze damage resistant but plastic faucets are doomed if there is any water lurking in them!
Some of the coaches do not have a flexible antifreeze line that you can stick into a jug. You have to make one yourself to connect to the "port" that Thor left for you.
