Great tips guys!  I do my cottage in a very similar fashion, including the drains, but did not think about the coaches floor drain.
What about mice?  This is our first year with the GMC and we are storing it in a friend's barn in Central Ontario.  We have been told to put Downy sheets throughout the coach.  Apparently mice hate the smell.

I run my air pressure wide open.  What is needed is lots of volumn to get
all the residual moisture out and away from any fittings.
I leave only one outlet open at a time.  Apply air, as that outlet quits
blowing moisture, shut it and open another immediately.  I do this until
there isn't a trace of moisture from any outlet.  That served me very well
for several years.
Now I just blow a little and then add pink through the pump to all outlets,
add in floor drain, done.  Easy, peasy.
