If you're not using it, sure. Just be sure to flush it before you use it.

No issue with that as it is non toxic but the question is why? I only introduced rv antifreeze into the water lines once; never again as it took a few different concoctions to rid the lines of a nasty antifreeze taste (we use our fw tank for drinking water). For the last 13 years compressed air has been used to void the lines of water with no ill effects. A total of 16 oz. rv antifreeze is then used for the traps and a small amount for the top of the toilet to keep the seal moist throughout the winter months.

+1 I used antifreeze in a previous RV and never again. I’ve been blowing out my lines for 10+ years with never an issue. Bit, answer your question, antifreeze in your lines for extended period of time will not affect them.
