Bill & Bruce:

Thanks for the info.

But we live in Tampa, and will be using the Vegas down here throughout the winter. I wasn't thinking in terms of winterizing per se -- but I'd do the compressed air rather than antifreeze. I'm not a fan of removing the water heater Teflon plug because I think that is one area that could be prone to leakage -- especially at that awful angle.

What I was really thinking about is I don't necessarily like that 6 gallons of water sitting in the tank waiting for the next trip. At the temperature down here -- to me that thing would just turn into an incubator. I just wanted to be sure that if I opened the 3 low point drains and hooked the compressed air adapter into the city water connection and put about 25 psi through the lines, I'd get most of the water out of the system.

When I retired from the AF we had settled in Hummelstown PA (first town SW of Hershey. We loved it there but after last winter's deep freeze and terrible snowfalls we decided retirement had to be more than shoveling snow and having your nose freeze shut. Picture shows snow in our parking spot last Mar. Thus -- the migration to Tampa.
