You should refill the RV's fresh water tank before bleeding the air out of the RV's water line. You will use this to exhaust all the air in the entire water system. Turn on the motorhome's water pump and open the faucet farthest from the pump. Close faucets and other water fixtures. Let the water run for a few minutes to a few hours or until you notice a steady stream of water. You won't hear any sputtering sound. Steady or solid flow is always a good indicator of the absence of air in your water line.

Sometimes, being in a hurry to winterize it is easy to forget to close the 3-way valve upstream from the pigtail used to pull the RV antifreeze.  If that valve is not totally shut, air will enter and give the scenerio you describe.
