Cold Weather Storage Question
After you pour the RV antifreeze into all the traps on the trailer, do you drain any residual antifreeze from the tanks? Any thoughts pro or con? Good or bad to have the valves swimming in the antifreeze?
Thanks
(please don't tell me to go south for the season  )

I can't see why some antifreeze would hurt the tanks

I have always left the antifreeze in the tanks with the valves closed, I sure do not want the valves freezing up. Nope won't tell you to go South, we can no longer go but always had to winterize prior to going anyway due to the time we left home in January.
Don't forget to drain the hot water tank and fresh water tank.

Water heater bypass on, drain tank, put note over switches to keep brain from turning on with no water in tank. John

I don't worry about antifreeze in any tank after winterizing.

Tank valves and toilet seal benefit from staying damp with antifreeze. they do not like to dry out.

I always leave the antifreeze in the tank. Never had a problem.
