Had a bunch of reading to do to catch up on this thread.
My trailer was winterized when I bought it this summer but I checked it anyway and added some pink to the traps and blk tank. My last trailer I just used to blow the lines out and then do the traps. This one was done by pumping pink thru the lines. I looked in at the pump and there's a hose connected that you stick into a pink bottle.
Will the blk tank flush line hold water or does it drain out into the tank?
For the line blow I just use a standard trigger blow nozzle and wrap it with elec tape until it seals into the city water connection when I hold it there. Seemed to work the past 5 years.

The Camco one Rodney posted above is the one I have. All great except the quick connects I use don't fit. Since I was going to Ace anyway I picked up the part to make my black tank AF pump. Had the pump, just needed a few little fittings and stuff.
The wiring was just a quick make it work, don't judge. Dump trailer had the closest battery. My outside shower is on the L/F of the trailer so that was out.

Yep, should be easier the second time around! We've started to dive into making plans for our trip. Wife still freaking out as she's never been in a car more then about 5.5 hours.
You're a bit closer to leaving..................Got a plan or just going to see where the wind takes you once you get there?

That's the one I have.. I only use 20 PSI myself and it works fine. I also blow out all my white hoses and then connect the male to the female to keep things somewhat sanitary.

Still have some tasks to do before then. Would like to add 2 6v batteries, a better battery usage monitor than the 4 leds and I need to pick up a small genny.
