Winterizing water lines

This will be the first time I will be using rv antifreeze in my water lines in our Class C 1979 camper.
I know where the pump is located and know I need to have the antifreeze go thru the pump and into the lines... right? I guess I will disconnect the in line and put a longer piece of hose on that end and put the hose in the gallon jug and let it syphon... right?
I have no idea what I am doing but Im gonna give it a try.
We had a new toleit put in and the valve went bad because I did not winterize with antifreeze. I usually just drain the lines and this always worked, but I guess new valves need new ways. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks.

There are "aftermarket kits" available for what you're doing. Yes, you can just use AF only, just be sure to open the outside shower lines also, if it has one. Afterwards dump a little more AF into "P" traps & all holding tanks.If you are not familiar with the By-pass system & do not use it on your hot water tank, just be aware that by using ant-freeze for winterizing will require about 7-8 gallons. If the hot water tank is a 6-gallon.

Do a search on this forum for "winterizing" there is a lot of information available.
