Many times the pump suction pickup line does NOT reach to bottom of tank
Hence pump runs dry before tank is emptied
Several gallons of anti-freeze may end up being double what you would normally use.
And then you have bunch of anti-freeze you have to get rid of in fresh water tank and tank drain doesn;t allow complete drainage. So yiou fill,drain,fill drain, fill drain

Use the 'winterizing' kit and SAVE yourself time, effort and more work then was necessary to begin with
