Weekend RV段ng in the winter

We want to keep doing weekend trips during the winter, but we are not sure how to handle the below freezing temps during the week. We store our rig at an outside storage facility so we will have to winterize to avoid water lines freezing.

Our thought was to just winterize and then not use any water or plumbing. Just use the bathhouse to do our business and take plenty of jugs of water.

I致e heard that some people just blow air through all their lines to get all the water out, but not sure if I want to do that every time we come back.

Any other options we are overlooking?

It's faster to blow the lines out with a small compressor than it is to load with anti freeze. Just add anti freeze to the p traps and you're good to go. For fresh water, I made a heated water hose so I don't need to worry about the tank. Grey & black are heated. I do winterize the Splendide.

This is the best and easiest way to deal with it. That's what folks do as snowbirds leaving the frigid north during their first couple days of travel.
