Do not fill your fresh water tank with anti-freeze.
Check to see if there is a hose, leading no where with a valve control on it. It will be located BETWEEN the fresh water tank & the pump.
If there is, that is what you will use to winterize. Place the end of the hose into a gallon container of RV antifreeze, open the valve & turn on the pump. Open all faucets, in the coach including the outside shower, if you have one, I doubt you do because you don't have a hot water heater. Run pump until the anti-freeze starts to come out of the faucet, close it, add a little antifreeze to the P trap, & your done. Close the valve, remove the hose from the container.
PS: drain the fresh water tank of all water prior to starting this process. There should be a drain valve on the underside of the trailer @ the tank location.
