Just pumping pink stuff will not get you to everywhere you need to fill. Get an adapter and connect it to the garden hose connection inside the shore power box (left outside of the coach) Hook up compressed air there to the adapter screwed into your city water connection. With the compressed air running, You can open each faucet until it stops blowing water out.
DO not forget about the shower.
If you just pump pink stuff in, it will not make up it to the city water connection and also to the shower hose.
Hey thanks for the tips Ken, I already picked up a brass adapter with an airline connection for the city line. Got a compressor lined up and we're thinking 20lbs pressure, sound ok? - have to say though I've never had the city water hooked up, live in a 1st floor apartment and ol'leaky is parked in a field -plus only boondock, never hookup ...
I was thinking of opening the flush on the toilet with a weight instead of my foot when we run the air through, would that work to drain the toilet pre-pinking?
