What I don't read much about are the two types of anti-freeze people. The cheaper type has ethanol and can cause a bad taste and odor, can damage seals and can be difficult to get rid of the taste and odor in the spring. The better stuff has propylene glycol and doesn't have the problem with taste and odor or damaging anything. If you are using antifreeze, spend a buck or two more and get the good stuff. Both are readily available and Camco makes both.
propylene glycol - in my neck of the woods that is ALL you can buy. The other stuff is basically windshield washer fluid or wood alcohol - poison. Wouldn't even put it down the traps as it will easily evaporate leaving you with nothing in the "P" traps which will allow the gases from the tanks to come up into the rig. The "pink" does not evap very easily at all and will be in the "P" traps all winter.
