For the $2.50-$3.00 a gallon that the antifreeze costs, I wouldn't winterize any other way. My 45' toy hauler with a washer/dryer unit in it only uses 3 gallons to do the job. I leave my water heater bypass in winterize over the winter and drain it. In the spring, I flush all the lines, then put the water heater back into operation.
$12-$15 dollars worth of antifreeze and the hour of time that it takes to winterize is far cheaper than whatever than repairing the broken lines in the spring plus any other damages that may occur.
This advice is worth what you pay for it.
