So to review...

We just bought the rpod in Feb and it's in our driveway.  I want to de-winterize.  So, anoid plug is in and tight.  On the water heater, the valves for the cold and hot line are parallel and the cut off line is perpendicular.  Turned on the water pump and the faucets spit out a little pink solution, then just gurgled and spit air.  No liquid (and yes, the fresh water tank is full.)

So what am I doing wrong?

Check under your sink where there should be a short hose with a valve.  That hose is for sticking down into a jug of RV antifreeze and drawing it into the system.  If that valve is still open, then you aren't going to get sufficient suction to move water through the system.  Make sure that valve is closed.

Yep.  That's what it was.  Thank you for your response.  When I called the "Service" department at the place where we bought it all I got was... "Uh, I dunno.  I think you better bring it in."  What's with these people?  Don't they get that just bringing the trailer to them is not a trivial activity?  

Had I'd listened to them, I'd have spent the day messing with the trailer, the TV, the WDH stuff, and then schlepped it to the south end of town, just to have them throw a valve under the sink.

Thanks for saving me that frustration!!!

Check out the de-winterization list in the link in my signature, for future reference.
