Scroll up a little and I have a picture of the adapter that should work for your setup, Amazon.
As in all the videos I could find I thought a small compressor was the way to go, then mfschu described his setup and I wanted to look further into it.
He was going from warm climates to at times needing to do a on the fly winterization, my same scenario. It was working out fine for him, it’s not Alaska or Canada here but the water knows when it’s way below freezing.
So already having Milwaukee batteries I picked up an inflator. It inflates everything I need, like truck, camper, bikes and way compact.
I like to jump on the good upgrades in tools, having been like many on here when young having nothing but a hammer to hit roofing nails and cussing out flathead screws. My job is so much easier because of improvements in tools. That said the knowledge of the old ways is probably my best tool…
I was very pleased with the results, test it out for yourself, the water that came out with the compressor following two air pump flushes was almost nothing. In my test there was definitely not enough water left behind to expand a pipe and burst it.
I follow the Escape video instructions on winterizing with air, I do believe there is an extra step that wasn’t on the video, I’ve read where some on here pop off the top of the water pump screen to protect the gasket.
