Winterizing for the first time
We normally "winterize" by heading to Florida, but since we just bought a house, I had to do the coach the traditional way. But I ran into a small bug. We have a 2005 Holiday Rambler Ambassador wit...

What everyone said on the Norcold. Once that hose leaves the blue solenoid, it is open to the icemaker so as long as it drains you are good. What is in the icemaker will evaporate, and it doesn't matter if it freezes. Be sure to leave your doors open on the fridge, or cracked open. Pull the supply off that solenoid as well as you pump antifreeze and wait till pink shoots out the end. You should have a white wire kind of wrapped around the valve with some foil looking stuff. That is actually heat trace and should be put back to protect that solenoid exposed to the vent opening.
On the hot water tank, if you have a simple one valve bypass, then you have a check valve on the outlet of the tank that prevents antifreeze from entering the tank backwards. I would suspect that first before your bypass valve, and actually I would carry a few spares of that one in brass, because they malfunction a lot and will leave you with no hot water.
