Winterizing water system?
Anyone put RV antifreeze into fresh water tank to pump and circulate into lines. Do not have bypass hose from pump to connect to antifreeze bottle.

The fresh water tank in our Class C doesn't drain completely, leaving 1-2 gallons in the tank. This water would dilute the antifreeze poured into the tank, reducing it's freeze protection ability. As already mentioned, it would be a pain to get all remaining antifreeze out of the water tank in the Spring.
Also, I only use the Propylene Glycol type antifreeze in the MSDS posted above. I don't use the cheaper RV antifreeze that is a mix of alcohol and Propylene Glycol, as there is a possibility of the alcohol damaging seals. IMO it's worth a couple of extra $ to avoid a repair cost later.
It takes about 1-3/4 gallons of RV antifreeze to winterize our RV.
