If you have not already done so, I have found it at AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts and Lowes.

Wouldn't you know it -- our local WalMart does not have ONE single jug of RV antifreeze left!

David is correct, you'll use far less antifreeze using the special hose inside than dumping it into the fresh water tank. Just be sure to drain the fresh water tank and then turn on the water pump to get the remaining water out of the line between the tank and pump. Look for the Winterization thread for full instructions...

Hi Pawpod! Hope you didn't mind me recycling your videos! They sure have come in handy.
For anyone else on the forum -- a couple of quick questions about winterization: 1) In video 6 - under the sink near the floor behind the wooden panel - were those hoses for pumping antifreeze through the lines? I'm confused - I've never tried to do that before and don't quite understand how that is done.2) And this question may seem ignorant but I'm going to ask it anyway. Once the water heater is drained, the anode rod taped with teflon tape and replace, and the valves to the hot water tank turned opposite to normal operation, how come rv antifreeze cannot be poured into the potable water tank and pumped through all the water lines by turning on the water pump and opening all the faucets? The potable water tank is going to be drained and sanitized in the spring. Just wondering - it seems like much less trouble to me. But since no one has recommended that, is it not safe, or is it not efficient, or is it not possible to do it that way? Diane

Hmmm - I never caught that. The dealer was mistaken on that. You were right.

duck42 - yes, everything in the pod either operates from 120 volts AC or 12 volts DC.
