2 Questions about the Pink Stuff

I know this stuff shouldn't be hard, but for some reason this is one of those things that I'm having trouble with:

1) I heard somewhere (once) that you shouldn't use the pink stuff with alcohol in it ... is that true? Of coarse, I can only find stuff that has "ethyl alcohol" in it.

2) What brand do you use?

IMO there is a lot of things to be concerned about with an Rv, antifreeze is not one of them. Have used alcohol based antifreeze on the same fifth wheel now for 11 years, the seal in the toilet is still sealing as it did 11 years ago, have no idea on any other seals, but have had no issues with my water system.

To answer your question on what brand, which ever is the best price, this year the best price I found was two gallons for $5.00 at Ace hardware. I have seen it since for 1.99 at Homedepot, but too late :) I'll stock up on some for next year

IMO you are over thinking this antifreeze thing, not sure all the concern. As some has pointed out if worried, blow the lines out ,and be done. As far as seals, well I have to guess some have had an issue, as said my experience differs.
