Polar Vortex in September? How much RV antifreeze?

I just bought our 97 Allegro bus 32' in April and finally had it DEwinterized in June (my mother passed so the bus is just set up in the yard plugged in this year) and I haven't used the water system ...

I think you're overreacting. I don't winterize till sometime in late October and live in Michigan. An occasional overnight low around or even below freezing is not an issue....

But when I do winterize I blow out all water lines with air, drain all tanks, low point drains, and go through about 2 gallons of anti freeze filling the traps, and toilet bowl. I do not use anti freeze in the fresh water system at all.
