Winterizing

Hi. I'm a newby.
We just moved up from a 23" BT Cruiser with issues to a 2006 Winnebago Aspect 23'that's in a lot better condition. When winterizing the BT it had a normal city water connection and I'd push in the spring loaded valve and usually get a pink shirt.
The Winnie has an angled brass fitting with a valve for either city water or fresh tank fill. How do I insure that antifreeze has gotten to that line? Does turning the city valve to tank fill open it to let the pump get antifreeze to it?

    Welcome to the RV.net world. Since you already solved your problem this is a mute point but many make the same mistake. This forum (Class B - Camping Van Conversions) says it all. If the chassis of an RV didn't come off the assembly line as a van, it is not a Class B. Your RV with a truck cab and the RV coach part built behind it is a Class C.

    sorry if you feel I posted in the wrong place. My understanding is RV's with no bed over the cab are considered B's or B+ at least. Am I wrong?

    Maybe nobody knows what you are talking about or maybe people who own Class B's don't want to go guessing at how a Class C might work?

    Apparently no one knows what I'm talking about but I solved my own problem. The previous owner had installed the brass 90 and it was simply screwed on a standard city fill. I just wasn't that observant to begin with and thought it was something Winnebago did.
