    Does anyone winterize by blowing compressed air through water system?

    Hello, Wondering if anybody cleans out their water system by using compressed air instead of filling it with RV antifreeze? I think it would work but maybe it would not clean out the 12 volt pump? Maybe it would be bad to leave the system dry? Regards, redbug2

    Does the trailer have to be level?

    Going to Mid Ohio Vintage Cycle Swap. Put on old ball, too low... Even after adjusting. Put WD system back on, without the tension bars it was just right... So, I put the tension bars on with one less link, just right now. I think its a go. Bringing old ball with me just in case.
