On my c-19 hybrid i had a seperate line by fresh tank with ball valve. i could toggle between fresh water or run plumbing antifreze into hose by toggling valve. how do i do it on my 2008 304bhs? I found the pump but lines are fixed? do i remove suction line off pump and get some hose? Or can i draw it in from low drain lines? How without getting antifreze in fresh water?

If you had this camper this past winter.(according to your previous posts)Why would you be asking this question in May.Just a thought.

You can buy the winterizing kit that was installed on the c-19. It includes the 3 way valve and the short hose to the antifreeze bottle.

Ok i get it now.I have a keystone sprinter and mine does not have the winterizing by-pass.i have to put the antifreeze in the fresh water tank and use the pump.I dont drink CG tap water anyway so its no big deal.I flush the tank real good when i de-winterize it .
