You need to ID your trailer, size and year. Your profile still says Winnebago.

Welcome Jule,
Before someone can answer, we need to know what year and model Escape you own. You may want to update your on screen avatar to show Escape vs Winnebago. More than likely if your Escape is new, there are no low point drains and you may have the e-z- winterizing set up.

Since you mentioned you have a compressor, I assume that part of your question is how to use compressed air to blow water out of your water lines. Too that end, I assembled three things you can buy at most Walmarts to connect my compressor to my camper. The middle piece limits pressure to no more than 50 psi. Just attach one end to your camper's shore water inlet, the other end to your compressor, then start opening faucets in your trailer one by one until only air comes out each faucet. Be sure to do your toilet, too, and any outside water outlets. And then drain your waste tanks and pour a little non-toxic RV antifreeze in your drain traps. As always, refer to your camper owner's manual for further steps or details for your specific camper. Best of luck.

I don't blow out my lines (some people do but using anti freeze works well) I just follow the instructions in the Escape manual and use RV anti freeze. I don't know how to blow out my lines. Hardest part of winterizing for me is getting that hot water anoid out! Or when i first started i took my trailer to an RV place and paid to have them do it.
