done . two gallons of rv antifreeze , the pump and everything downstream is protected . the p traps on all the fixtures are protected . have been doing this for over 25 years on 4 different rvs and never had a problem .

That's what I've always done too. I catch the water and antifreeze until it runs pure and dump it out then put some pure stuff in all the traps. I haven't done anything to the city water hookup. I think I need to service that too.
