Anti freeze into fresh water tank
I have always drained the fresh tank, connected the anti-freeze into the line at the pump and run the stuff around. It occurs to me..why not just toss a couple gallons into the fresh tank, run the pum...

When I winterized our first Class A many years ago, I did the "anti-freeze in the tank" thing. Never again! That old 1977 Pace Arrow not only didn't have a pickup tube for the pump, it didn't have a water heater bypass system! It took nearly 10 gallons of "pink stuff" to winterize the water system, and getting the taste out of the system was extremely difficult and wasted many gallons of fresh water.
Since then, I have winterized the RVs exactly the same way one would winterize an underground sprinkler system: 55 to 60 PSI air, then about a cup of AF in each P trap and in the toilet.
15 minutes of air compressor use, and half a gallon (or less) of AF, and I'm done.
It works for me.
