I have a brass winterization valve. It looks just like a tire stem. I also have a locking tire chuck. It has, and always will be a one person job for me! If I remember correctly, I purchased the valve from a local RV shop for about $8. It is a Camco item, maybe you could find it in a catalog.


RV blowout plug, looks like this:


and a lock on air chuck .. add a quick connect for your air hose (not shown here)


I just found out there is an "All in one" unit:


I made my all in one connection with a male end of a garden hose and a quick connect on the end clamped with a hose clamp. In fact I made two since I had two male ends of a garden hose. Where did you find the all metal version?

I got my all in one air quick disconnect to threaded brass fitting at Home Depot - common part for blowing out sprinkler systems.

Thanks. That is a slick part. Once again it proves that I learn something new every day about my MH.
