I also use air to remove the water in the lines.  I have used antifreeze in the past, but found air was easier to de-winterize and have had no issues so far in central NC.I add a small amount of RV antifreeze to the drains(kitchen and bath sinks, shower) to keep the P traps from freezing

Welcome to the forum.  We are also NC owners and happy to answer questions or help if we can.

We have winterized with air and antifreeze-not hard, just takes a little time. the second time is easy.

we will be using our Pod for more travel this season, so not ready to winterize yet.  We usually do that in late November.

Each unit is slightly different, although the valves and tanks are pretty similar.

Basically, you need to open all faucets, empty all tanks, empty the water heater, drain the shower hose, and open the low point drains.  Once all of the water has drained out, close everything  and then  blow out the lines with low air pressure,using a blow out plug attached to the city water inlet.   Open 1 faucet at a time to make sure that particular line is clear. then do the next faucet, etc. etc until you feel certain that all water has been removed from the plumbing system. Reset (close)the 2 valves(cold in and hot out) to isolate the water heater-you do not want antifreeze in the water heater. There is a short hose that doesn't go to anything-this is the uptake suction hose for the antifreeze.Then you can change the 3rd valve to suck up the antifreeze from a 1 gallon bottle into the water lines. check each faucet to make sure pink antifreeze is coming from the faucet and shut it off.  After doing every faucet, add antifreeze to the drain traps of the kitchen sink and bath sink and also to the toilet to keep the seal wet.

there are lots of good videos available to give more specific instructions.

Good luck and safe travels

But if you just bought your rPod and live in NC, why not enjoy it awhile longer before winterization? 

There is a good 6 weeks left, longer if you are near the coast, before it will be typically cold enough to have freezing problems in NC. Just getting down to 32 degrees at night won't cause a problem. I live in the SW VA mountains and I won't be winterizing mine till late November unless there some really unusually cold weather forecast.
