Wow, sorry I brought this up. Anyway, as I said we don't even know if his freshwater tank and pump works. It's a 1978 TT that he bought for 3000 and is going to leave setting at the park until it rust's to the ground. I know how to winterize my own TT and yes, I put pink in my holding tank. I don't drink from the holding tank and after sanitizing in the spring everything is fine. But, on his TT I was hoping there was a hand held pump someone made that would allow me to pump pink through his system via the fresh water inlet port so that I did not have to fool around with his pump and tank. (which may not work or leak for all we know) He said he would give me 50 bucks to winterize if for him so I was hoping to find a simple and cheap method that would work for him while allowing me not to invest much in equipment.
Don't be sorry you brought it up!! One thing I've learned about this forum is that a lot of people have an opinion and to some theirs is the only thing that matters. Living in Alaska we get the bitter cold that lasts for months on end. A friend of mine blows air through the lines and waits and then repeats 4-5 times. He never adds RV antifreeze to the lines, just the p-traps. He has never had a problem in 15 years of doing it this way. Of course open the low point drains and the faucets one at time when blowing the air out.
Best of Luck!!
