winterizing issue
Trying to winterize my trailer. As you can see in the pic, the in and out valves to water heater are turned off. Bypass valve is turned on. So why is my water heater filling up with anti-freeze. ...

Your hot water lines/taps will flow antifreeze via the bypass line/valve. It is not coming from the tank, is it?
The OP stated "So why is my water heater filling up with anti-freeze."
He also said this is the 3rd year he has winterized the unit although this year there are new valves.

No, I was pumping directly from the jugs.
Just picked up unit yesterday after dropping it off 4 weeks ago. They replaced all the valves. in/out and bypass. The inner workings of the in/out valves wouldn't turn, even though the handle did. they obviously broke. I tried removing the valves myself, loosened the connectors but couldn't break them free. They would just spin in place. Not sure if you need a tool for the PEX for doing that or not. Got fed up with dealing with it and just took it in. I was in no hurry to get it back, since im done with camping anyway
So now, all I need to do is pick up some antifreeze and a "for sale" sign and im good to go. Tired of dealing with this POS.
