OK, a previous poster was looking for it so here it is:
We don't winterize our RV, we winterize the House if Western NY (Rochester/Buffalo area). Drain the Hot Water heater, Hookup the air compressor and blow all the water lines out, put RV Antifreeze (Yea the pink stuff) in all P or S traps, several gallons in the toilet tank and bowl, approx a gal in the washer and run on drain to ensure pink stuff in it's pump, open most of the windows just a crack to help equalize inside and outside temps, contact the power company and shut everything off.
Been doing this now for a number of years without an issue.
