Electric Heater vs Winterizing
Have you tried keeping tanks warm with a small electric heater instead of winterizing. How has that worked for you?

That's a lot of cost and worry to avoid having to run a few extra gallons of water through your system in the spring. Running electric heat all winter will cost a fortune, and then what if the power goes out?
To answer your question: No, people where there is winter don't do it.
I winterize by draining as best I can, then blowing out the lines as best I can, then pumping a gallon of antifreeze into the pump and lower lines from the fresh tank.
We had the coldest winter in decades last year, and my TC made it through with no damage.
Unfortunately, I don't have a winterizing system, and I am not going to install one because messing with the plumbing on this TC has been a NIGHTMARE almost every time.
