I do not have to winterize, because I live in a warm area and keep my traielr in the garage.
However, I have examined the water lines in my trailer. They do not sag. I can see that if a different trailer has a point in the water lines where it dips down and then rises again the you have something similar to a P trap. You will need to blow the water out of there.
From my faucet to the low point drain, it is all down hill. There is no rise, therefore there is no place for water to collect.
Other Trailmanor owners have discovered that two additional steps are required after draining:
1) turn the pump on momentarily. this will flush what little water is in the pump out of the pump.
2. the outside shower and inside shower spray heads do not drain well remove them.
Water lines in a trailer should never have a low point that can collect water. If they do, then I suggest that it is either a poor design, not properly installed, or the shape of the trailer left no alternative.
I have a hard time believing that doing it my way in my trailer will result in blowing water lines. Doing it my way in your trailer might have that result. Perhaps you have some location in you water lines where the water can collect. There may be a difference in the design between my trailer and yours.
It certainly is safe to use air to blow the water out, as long as the air does not blow the pipes out from too much pressure.
Anything I am not willing to mix with some bourbon is something I am not willing to put into my water system. I have looked at that pink stuff and there is no way I would ever want to drink that stuff, no matter how much it was diluted when flushed out in the spring. I prefer to never have a reason to use it.
