It would help if you filled in your profile or created a signature which includes year, make and model of your camper and tow vehicle. Conway can be in SC or AR and not sure what winter is like. There are two ways to go about winterizing based on winter temps. If you are somewhere where it can get below freezing for long periods you put antifreeze in your fresh water fill and pump it through the system using the water pump after making sure you bypass your water heater (drain the thing). Run the pump till antifreeze comes out the open spigots in the sinks. It might be a good idea to put some antifreeze in your pee traps under your sinks. The other way works fine in milder climates such as where I live. Buy a fitting that connects to your city water inlet for use with a compressor and blow the lines out using low pressures with the spigots on the sinks open. I have my wife open the closest then shut it and open spigots farther down stream till air comes out. I shut the water heater out and drain first by closing the bypass valve. I then pore some antifreeze in the pee traps.

Do you have a compartment outside where you bypass the water heater and have a valve that says winterize? Same place where you connect your water hose and valve for your dumping

Don’t forget the outside shower. Make sure to either run antifreeze or air through it.
