Winterizing

I have a 2014 Surveyor. I wanted to try blowing out the lines. When i hook up and open the drains, it doesn’t seem like air is coming through. Set at 25-30 #. I don’t hear anything and the pressure on the tank never drops. What could be the issue? It has been cold but I just don’t see the lines being frozen but. Not sure what else it could be. Any ideas?

How did you attach your compressor to your unit?

You do have it set for "city water" and not "gravity" feed, right?

Have no idea what you mean. What is gravity feed? I have never seen anything for that.

Now and then, a check valve in the water inlet sticks shut.
