    The ever-popular winterization questions

    Hi all, (Yes, I searched the forum and the Official FB group AND the manual first AND the winterization list from Forest River.) We prefer winterizing by using an air compressor and blowing all of the lines dry, instead of pouring pink stuff in and pumping it through the lines. We do still...
