Other than checking the city water, outside shower, and black tank flush as mentioned, sounds good.
BUT, how much antifreeze did you use? You need to make sure you pushed all the water out the lines, and make sure there is enough antifreeze in the p-traps of the sinks and tub/shower as mentioned.
For next year as reference, this is how I winterize (right or wrong! Lol): I hook an air compressor up to the city inlet to blow all the lines out, one by one, for some time. While doing this, when possible I try to catch in a bowl the water in the lines (maybe overkill???). Going back through a second time to all the faucets. I then take any p-traps accessible out and drain them into the bowl. Also drain the hot water heater and fresh tank at this time. New to me this year is having a black tank flush, outdoor shower, and outdoor kitchen- need to remember those!!!! I then pump the antifreeze through the pump to all faucets, toilet, and the city inlet. I then blow the lines out again (maybe crazy at this point!!! Lol), pour antifreeze down the p-traps and toilet into the holding tanks, little in the toilet, and good to go!
For those with a black tank flush, do you put any antifreeze down it also with a hand pump?
