Thanks naturist and popeyemth. I did drain the hot water tank and then bypassed it before pumping the antifreeze in. Not sure I drained it right though. The videos I watched showed opening the pressure valve and removing the plastic water plug to drain the tank. My camper has a hot and cold valve underneath as well as a low point drain. I had opened them prior to removing the hot water tank drain plug so when I did that, nothing more came out. I'm assuming those valves underneath the camper were for the hot water tank because they are directly beneath it and nothing else came out of the tank so I'm hoping I'm good with the winterization now. Gotta love us newbies! The things experienced campers do without thinking about them are the same things us newbies stress over.
I would remove the plug in the hot water tank and drain it properly.
