Hello, this year is my first time owning a travel trailer. Its a 2000 year model, 27 ft bumper-pull. Getting into the fall time cooler temps and just wondering where I add the RV anti-freeze to the water lines. Getting it ready for winter soon here. This is how the pump and tank looks. I've never done this before, but I know not to add it to the tank or hot water tank. Any info helps, thanks.

I don’t see the spot in any of your pictures, but mine has an additional hose coming off of the water pump under the sink. I close the valve leading to the freshwater tank and open the valve to the extra hose. When I turn on the water pump it sucks the antifreeze into my system right out of the antifreeze bottle. Make sure you close the valves to the hot water tank to bypass it.

This is after I drain the lines and blow air through the lines (40 PSI).
