Pressure washer hook up
How is one supposed to winterize the pressure washer hook up with the oddball fitting ?

I am not sure what you mean by a "pressure washer hook up." If you mean the outside faucet, remember that is gets its water from inside the trailer via the pump just like any other faucet in the unit. So you open it until the pink stuff runs just like all the others.
Or do you mean the black tank flush? We've advised how to do this several times in just the past two weeks in other threads.

No this is a quick connect has no valve just has a cover over the end of it almost looks like an airline quick connect.

This sound more like a gas connection for a grill or something, than water. Pictures would help show what you are talking about.

You can use a screwdriver to push in the center of the quick connect. Just be careful how deep you push it so it doesn’t get stuck. Or just go to any RV parts store and buy the fitting/hose. It’s a little different than the garden hose quick connect and not really like an LP quick connect.

Our outside shower has that connection. It is very similar to an air hose quick connect. If it is for the outside shower I would connect the shower hose to it and open the valves.

Sorry for the delay, on the side of the TH by the front door there is a cable TV hook up and potable water port but next to that there is a round, small cover/door with a quick connect fitting. I watched a YouTube video and he said it was to hook up the pressure wash.

How about posting a picture of this so that we all are on the same page?

Regaardless, there is no “pressure wash” on these trailers. Outdoor shower, perhaps.

On a note... you will be VERY disappointed in that PRESSURE WASHER... 
It's just a water hose with a quick disconnect fitting.. Should be a hose that looks something like this laying around in the storage area..

I looked everywhere Saturday while I was there winterizing it and found nothing. I should open the box the pressure washer is in, its still sealed from the factory. 
I just ordered the blue coil hose so I can at lease blow it out. I may know use the pressure washer but a little hose may come in handy.

Dan, I'd open that box up, because we're all curious. And please, post pictures of both the unopened pressure washer box and it's contents.

I will, I hope it isn't in that box pressure washer box, that little coil hose was spendy! But they way I see it, the hose was cheaper than broken pipes!
