Hey all. I have a 2020 Springdale 240BHWE model. I was winterizing yesterday by using the compressed air method. I first drained the water tanks fresh and hot, emptied out the low point drains, then hooked up air to 40 psi. I could never keep the psi up and it didn't seem to work at all. Well, then I did the bypass at the tank and then the pressure came up to about 28 (kept charge on compressor at 40 though). I did this for about an hour opening and closing each valve or faucet, etc. and still, water was spurting out and or a fine spray of water was still seen. Plus I also heard gurgling sounds coming from the water tank it seemed. But when I removed the plug again, nothing came out. So I did it again and that sound finally stopped but I never got the faucets to stop having this fine mist of water come out. What am I missing? Shouldn't they be dry after about 20 mins or so?
