On my c-class I dump the tanks, close the valves and then winterize. what ever goes in the tanks (usually mixture of water pushed out and some pink). BUT I have no piping between the tanks and the valves. The valves are located on the side of the tanks and then the Y connector to the stinky slinky.
When I winterized my neighbours 5th wheel, I noticed that there was 5 to 8 feet of piping from the bottom of the tanks to the drain valves, in that case the pink is needed to keep the drain pipes from freezing.
Just depends of your unit.
Chemicals. Never used them, camping or storage.
