I am new to this and am confused as to why i cannot pour the plumbing antifreeze into my fresh watertank when it is dead empty and draw it through my pump it just seems alot easier to me, i just did mine that way this past weekend i am parked on a seasonal site and never used my freshwater tank for anything else!!!

This is the way I do mine. Takes a while in the spring to get the tank cleaned out but it;s a fast way to winterize. Takes 3 gallons for my unit.

We will be doing our first winterizing...ever

I understand what y'all are saying....but what about the washer? Run the pump 'til it has antifreeze in it? and then the drain hose?
