RV Antifreeze question

Anyone ever have this stuff Freeze? Went out to the camper this morning and the antifreeze in the toilet is frozen! Looked in bathtub & kitchen sink p-trap, also frozen!

Went into my shed, the left over antifreeze in the gallon is also frozen to a slurpee like consistency.

It's been cold the last 4 days, lows down in the single digits but this stuff is "suppose" to rated to minus 50*

What do guys think? Problems when I un- winterize it?

Here in Alabama we rarely get below 20, and that's usually for just a few hours. I have had RV's since 1975 (12 units) and have never used the antifreeze. I open the low point drains and blow the lines empty with my small air compressor. I have never had a problem and we camp every month of the year. Leaving next week for 10 days.

It's suppose to turn slushy, that's what's it's designed to do. But it does not expand. Perfectly normal, absolutely correct. Nothing to worry about.

It's not supposed to freeze solid, just slushy.
