We will be out of town over the holidays so this morning I "winterized" our coach... southern Arizona style. Opened all the drains and took the rig for a short ride during which time all of the water in the tanks, lines and water heater drained. Added a quart of pink RV antifreeze to the black and gray tanks which were empty except for a very small amount of water. Finally, I added a cup of antifreeze to all three traps {kitchen and bathroom sinks and the shower}.
We usually don 't see temps below the high twenties and that is only briefly in the predawn hours but once in a while, we might see a night approaching or even reaching the high teens. Either way with the water gone and antifreeze in place I'm set. Been using this method for about 10 years without any issues and when we head out in January for our next trip with the coach all I have to do is close the valves and add water.
Lastly, I restocked the bar. :B
