Re: [A/S] Potable anti freeze



Lexxy:

         It won't happen if the lines have been completely blown out, but 
that's the catch - how do you know?  I always blow my lines out, tilting 
the trailer back and forth, and then I put antifreeze in, 
too.  Why?  Because I just don't know that there's not a residual amount 
large enough to cause a freeze plug.  The cost and bother of antifreeze is 
negligible, compared to the cost and bother of a frozen line.  Of course, I 
keep my trailer up north of Helen, much colder than Augusta.  But I would 
still worry in Augusta - just not far enough south to be safe.
