Phil, if memory serves the LP tank is 51# which is 13 gallons mas y menos. I've never gotten more than about 9 gallons in it at a fill. Usually fill it twice a year.
I will be winterizing the coach this week as we will be out of town over the Christmas holidays without the coach. Most years winterizing consists of just restocking the bar but this year is looking to be a tad bit cooler.
I'll just gravity drain the water lines, leave the valves open and drive around for 20 minutes which empties the water lines pretty well. Then I just add a quart of the pink antifreeze to the grey and black tanks and put a couple of cups down each of the drains {two sinks and the shower}.
I've used this method off and on for years and never had any issues. We'll likely see temps in the mid-twenties but that is usually only for an hour or two predawn. Any low predicted below 25 will require a little more work but not much. I sure love living in southern Arizona.
