Winterize DM 2007 T@B Question

in Heating/Plumbing & Winterizing
We are putting our new (to us) 2007 T@B away for the winter and we have a winterization question.  The T@B is very simple. There is a 5 gal fresh water tank with water pump but no grey water tank.  Waste water just drains out the bottom of the T@B.  
We drained the fresh water and pumped the sink faucet till it did not run any more.  Do we need to put in some antifreeze?  Our friends with the barn thought we should but it all looks so simple I cannot see where we might have a problem unless it is in the pump.
Any advice would be a big help.  Thank you.

    You will want to get some RV anti-freeze (Wal-mart carries it in the automotive section).  Put that in your fresh water tank and then pump it into your system.  Open each valve to let a little out.  Make sure to also put a little in your trap in the sink.  You will be all set then.

    You didn't mention a water heater.  If you have one, make sure to drain it but do not pump antifreeze into it, instead use the bypass, which should be next to the water heater under the sink.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    Thank you for the info.  i can do that.  No water heater so that is pretty easy.
