Advice needed on winterizing water tank and pump

I have a new 2014 Keystone Bullet TT purchased at end of 2014.. I only used in 2015 twice and only used city water connection, never fresh water tank. I winterized last week with RV antifreeze by pumping to every faucet one by one with a hand pump through the city water connection until pink came out every faucet, shower and toilet flush valve...also put pink in every trap and toilet.. Do I have to do anything with the fresh tank and pump if never used? I opened the lowest point tank drain and no water came out so can I assume it is a separate system and no water got into it or the pump since I only used the city water connection? Don't want to miss something if water can get into fresh tank lines without ever using electric pump and tank.

    If you've never used the fresh water tank, and the low point drains are dry, you should be good. You should have a winterizing hose where you use the on board pump to distribute the AF. Much easier than a hand pump.

    If you opened the low point drain for the fresh water holding tank and nothing came out you should be good to go. Per my owners manual, I turned on the pump for about 30 seconds, just to be sure that all water was out of the pump itself.

    And like you, I have never used the holding tank.
