Winterizing

I winterized the RV last fall with antifreeze, because of health issues we didn't use it this year. Can I leave the same antifreeze in the lines or should I replace with fresh antifreeze for this winter?
Next week end I am going to take it out of the yard and top off the gas tank, this way I am rotating the tires. Next year we have five trips planned.

I'm sure nothing will freeze since you last winterized; if no water has been used but the pink rv antifreeze does evaporate but not as fast as water. Some of the gate valves and seals may benefit from another shot of antifreeze just to keep them in good condition.

I have been using Sea Foam Fuel Stabilizer the last few years, one side benefit it cleans the injectors.

Pour some fuel stabilizer in the tank before you fill it.

The whole point is to remove water. Since no water was introduced this year, there is no need to remove it again. Leave it as is.
