You can mix brands if it is the same stuff. Most of the time it is 100% propylene glycol with only color and a bitter flavor added. This will usually be rated -50F and dyed pink. The label should list the ingredients.
If the RV antifreeze you're buying has a noticeably bitter taste, don't buy it! The antifreeze manufacturers voluntarily agreed to add a bitter flavoring to
ethylene glycol based antifreezes to deter children and pets from drinking the otherwise sweet but deadly liquid. The
propylene glycol used in RV antifreeze has neither the sweet taste nor the deadly consequences of drinking it, so no bitter flavoring is needed. A few antifreeze manufacturers go it wrong, adding the bitter taste to both formulas, although most have corrected the error by now.
