Can't user 5er again this winter - replace red goo in pipes?

For various reasons my RV won't be used again this winter. It was winterized a year ago. Does the alcohol evaporate (to where I don't know)? Should I replace the RV antifreeze before the second win...

No need to replace. Alcohol does not evaporate within a closed system. Just pour some more in the p-traps and you are good to go until spring.
