Exactly! Why spend money on some chemical that may or may not be harmful
(many food additive are harmful even though they are found in food). In
fact Camping World sells an air adapter for the city water inlet. Just hook
up a pressure air hose at the gas station and blow out the air. The water
tank and non pressure lines should drain themselves once you remove the
drain cap under the van.
