Go inside and turn on the pump, open shower, sink, kitchen sink, toilet, etc valves one at a time till pink fluid comes out. Then outside for shower and low point drains. Takes less than 1 gallon. The left over I pour into the drains and toilet bowl. The RV sits in outside storage all through northeast Ohio winters. Been doing this routine for the last 13 years on three different units.
Different strokes for different folks.

That is how I do it Chief, and have been for many years. Mine takes about 2.5 gallons; but I'm pretty generous with it.

I don't know if it will help anyone, but my winterizing checklist is attached. Just the way I do it; other methods also work.
