 :yeah:

I didn't say that but ya.  That's the only way I can drain it.  Anode must come out  :tup:

I keep a spare too, if looks like a bulldog chewed up a stick a new one goes in, use plumbing tape

1. empty the holding tanks.

2. empty the water tanks including the hot water tank. Turn the pump on for a second to get any water out. Also, flush the toilet

3. put a little air, with adaptor to the city fill. Yes it make a difference, more water comes out.

4. I only pour rv antifreeze in to the holding tanks through the toilet and sinks drains, usually a gallon take care of this, and a little in the toilet to keep it sealed. You don't want any smells from the holding tanks coming back into the camper. I used to put antifreeze in to the water system, but quit, it made the water taste weird even after flushing. I feel blowing out the water lines empties it out pretty good.

5. I use dryease or how ever it is spelled inside. My camper is 12 years old and I have not had any freezing issues.
 
There are only so many sunrises left.

I did it that way for years too, then I lost a toilet valve, then the kitchen sink.  Replaced with a nice moen but had to use adapters to swap it from rv sink to moen

I don't know why they froze and broke, I ran air through until.it stopped blowing spray, and just blew air.   :dunno:

I know if pink stuff comes through I'm good, and if I isolate the hotwater its helps a ton with tbe chemical smell and taste.

I flush with a pretty strong bleach mix in the spring well before I want to use it, the bleach dissipates and water smells clean and fresh

Thanks guys, I think I've got a pretty good handle on it now. Just ordered the air compressor adaptor to blow out the lines. Seems like that is a good first move anyway.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.
