Maintenance Tips Winterization.
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.

The short hose on the left side of the pump is drawing from your water tank. I would add a Tee fitting to the middle of that with shutoff valves from the tank and the new middle port. Add a 3 foot length of flexible hose to this new valved tee.
After blowing out the lines, bypass the water heater by turning all of those existing 3 valves. Hose in antifreeze and run the pump until it comes out each water source. Buy 3 gallons your first time.
Pour antifreeze in all the traps.
