Fresh water tank & antifreeze

I have a 08 keystone hornet 27dbs that I camp in the winter months during hunting season. Unfortunately I do not have a power or water source. I do use a generator for power and would like to use the campers water system. I am curious if I can add a potable antifreeze to make the camper functional. I probably would still bring in drinking and cooking water but it would be nice to use it to shower and for the toilet. Is this a possible scenario? What ratio of antifreeze would it take to keep it from freezing? I could still blow out the pipes and put antifreeze in the traps when I leave I just don't want to freeze the tank. I am in central alabama so the winters are not as harsh as some but it will sometimes get in the teens. I could drain it on the rare single digit occasions if needed.

I could be wrong - but really ... Alabama and you're worried about 50+ gallons of water turning rock hard? I personally think you are worrying over nothing. A few slight dips below 32 degrees isn't going to matter especially if it warms back up during the day. Now up here in Montana when it gets -20 degrees for 2 weeks straight is a different story. Point is that it takes quite a while for so much water to actually freeze to the point it would do damage. Worst case for you is 50 gallons turns to a bit of slush. You would need sustained deep freezing temps to hurt your tank.

So relax and a fill the water tank up and enjoy your rig.
