Winterizeing
When winterizing our RVs, drain water heater, blow out lines and add pink stuff. Is there anything we should do to the propane lines in winterizing? :@

Do you guys generally pour the pink stuff straight into the fresh tank and distribute through the system via the water pump?
No to the antifreeze in the fresh water tank! After your fresh tank is completely drained, the method varies. On my trailer, I have an adapter that I use that requires you to disconnect the fresh water line coming from the tank into the waterpump, and attach a short section of hose that you then put into the gallon of anti-freeze that you then use the water pump to run through all the plumbing. Newer trailers/fifth wheels, sometimes have a combination of valves that include a winterize mode that already has a suction input to run the anti-freeze through the plumbing.
also be sure to set your water heater to bypass mode, and drain the water from it. If you don't change to bypass, you will fill your water heater with antifreeze too. I am able to do my trailer with about a total of 3 gallons which includes running some extra down the traps and into the tanks.
I agree. I suggest you check for a winterizing kit.
IF you try to do it thru the fresh tank. It will take a lot of antifreeze. Maybe 5 gal or more. IF you can do it as stated above. Less than 2
