So I recently de-winterized my motorhome in preparation for my first trip next weekend. As part of the de-winterizing process I ran the washer for a cycle to flush out the pink stuff. I tried to blow out the airlines by hooking up a compressor and turning on all the faucets. I did not do anything with the washer or the refrigerator icemaker. I did leave open up the low point drains and drain all the tanks. I'm worried now because the temps are supposed to drop tonight to 25 degrees. I thought I read somewhere that the washer might still have water in it somewhere that could damage the washer and that I'm unsure if gravity would have drained the water lines to the washer and the icemaker. I would appreciate advice here. My motorhome is at a storage lot and so my only potential strategy would be to bring in to my house tonight and run the furnace or a small electric heater to keep it warm inside.

First thing before I get flamed: I also posted this as a reply to a post up in General so skip it if you already saw it there. OK Tito DIY blog just posted a blog on this very subject: Tito He has a system that look pretty good to me, I was skeptical about using a drill pump but the one he shows emptied a 5 gal container in 2 minutes. The ones I've used in the past would not move that much as rapidly. Those 5 gal containers he shows are a very good deal right now, $5 each. I just ordered 4 with $8 shipping. The cubitainers on Amazon are more in the $10 each range so even with the shipping that is a good deal. I don't know if they are running a special, knowing about his blog, because their other smaller containers cost more than $5. So if you are interested I'd go and grab them right away. That tube he stuck into the water tank at the end of the hose is from Camco $4, called a water tank filler.

We are finding the water in the Southwest, especially Texas, to be very hard. We are looking at portable water softeners and would like to know what brand and model number water softener folks are using, and why. Have you had success, or any problems, with the water softener you are using?
