Winterizing toilet??
When winterizing, do you leave the pink stuff in the toilet bowl?? I've read the seals need to stay wet, but will the pink stuff damage them? Will it stayin the toilet bowl punk?

Whichever RV antifreeze you choose, just drain it all out after you put it through your system.
Why would you need to leave it in the water lines , pump and fixtures once you have put it through to protect them ? At that point, the antifreeze has diluted any residual water left in the system , just get rid of it once it has done its job and you won't have to worry about any taste come spring.
If you choose to do it this way, then lubricate the seal separately .

If you use the cheap ethanol based anti-freeze, it may dry out seals, and will evaporate. It only takes a few gallons to winterize, so I don't mind paying 5 bucks a gal, for higher quality. It won't evaporate, won't stain, and is actually a good lubricant for seals.
