[reubenray]

With all of these options for sanitizing the system do y'all flush out the antifreeze first?

To be fair the trailer was winterized when I bought it last November. I have been rv'ing for 10 years and I have never winterized. I lived in the deep south where all I did was blow out my lines and open all faucets. But I now live where it got down to -7 this winter for several days. Factor in the tankless water heater I am afraid to only blow out the lines.

With the tankless water heater, particularly with those temps I would absolutely use anti-freeze.

Where I live it can get down to -45*...and have been successful with air only for over 25 years.......but......I do not have a tankless water heater and have heard they can be impossible to winterize with air only. So...AF it is.
My previous comment was more tongue in cheek than anything. Cheers!

Keep in mind with air only that there is still water in all of the P traps under sinks. My brother-in-law found out what happens when they freeze.

I saw this in the Pentair ShurFlo pump manual, which again lends to 1/4 cup bleach per each 15 gallons of tank capacity, then fill the tank all the way.
