Never dilute and just drain the tank, don't waste antifreeze on the water tank. I installed a few extra valves in my system.
Two valves to bypass the water heater (You can buy a kit).
One valve to cut off water from the potable water tank.
One valve to open a hose that I put into the gallon of RV antifreeze.
You need full strength antifreeze in your water pump.
I cut off the tank valve and open the gallon valve and use the regular pump to fill all lines to include the commode lines. You need AF in your pump.
If you use the commode just pour water from a jug to flush.
That's the way I would do it.
