Blow out or RV Antifreeze Poll
Who blows out lines with air and who fills lines with rv antifreeze?
What's your reason why?

Always anti-freeze. Too many low spots, especially fittings. Rather spend $10.00 than take a chance.

Blowout: Quick, easy, nothing to 'undo' for camping, and cheap.

Antifreeze because it's easy and I have never had a problem with freeze damage to plumbing so I know it works.

I blow out and then add antifreeze to dilute low spots and blow out again. Does not take much extra time as hauling the air compressor out back.

I blow it out then add a little antifreze to the "P" traps. Drain the water heater, too.

I can't vote because there is not option for doing both, which is what I do. Haven't had a problem in over 5 years in NW PA.

I blow out add antifreeze to the P-traps and black tank. Years ago, I filled the water lines with antifreeze, come spring, I had to replace most of the water lines as they had burst. Thus far, never an issue with blowing out.

I do both - I consider it a worthwhile investment in time and money and its cheap insurance...
