Balloon trick for draining motorhome water pipes
Original source: motorpasion.com

Motorhome owners are using a balloon to blow residual water out of pipes before freezing temperatures arrive. The method involves cleaning the tank, disconnecting the pump, opening the taps and forcing air through a balloon fitted over the tap. The process takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on the installation. Manufacturers such as Jayco recommend regulated compressed air and warn that running the pump dry for too long can damage it.
