We bought our 2008 challenger this year. First rv we ever had. Need to start winterizing it and wanted to know is the compressed air method better or the anti freeze method. Would appreciate any help with this.

For the few extra minutes it takes, I do both. Cheap insurance against frozen/busted plumbing.
Blow it out then add the pink RV antifreeze using the water pump. That way everything is protected.

Is there a fitting that allows an air hose to be connected to the outside water connection?

You will want to also use food grade antifreeze if you are in an area the dips below freezing.

I made my own using a plastic male hose connection with a valve stem pushed through it and glued
