Can someone tell me how do you pump RV antifreeze into the system I have no access to the water pump (2005 Georgie Boy Pursuit 35 ft.)
I will blow out the lines but I would like to put the Pink stuff in it.All the answers I have so far are just guess of where the pump is.
I need specific instruction how to locate my water pump for my unit
Thanks for any help.

If you have the manual that came with the MH, that should describe a procedure for winterization with anitfreeze.

Water pumps are usually pretty noisy. Just turn the pump on and track down where the noise is coming from. Opening cabinets and drawers should help in the search.

IF all else fails you can use an inexpensive boat bilge pump from WalMart.
Use a 3 or 5 gal bucket pour the pink stuff in it.
Use a very short garden hose one end on the pump one end connected to your city water inlet.
Run 12V from the battery to the pump. Battery + side goes to the brown wire.
Put the pump in the bucket and turn the pump on.
One at a time open all faucets and every thing you want the pink stuff in.
Save the pump, bucket, wire and hose for next year.
Very easy to do I used to do it until I decided blowing air was good enough.

As CloudDriver segested turn it on and look in the cabinets for it. You will hear it and should be easily accesseable. When you find it disconect the input side(most likely the top) and let it run a few seconds and then done. If blowing out lines this is the last step after all others lines are clear and opening the FW Tank drain. I always start by draining the HW heater then put the plug back in and work from the furthest facaut from inlet and work back to closest. Then hit WH bypass and do again until no more water in any (dont forget outside shower and ice maker) Have been doing it this way for 20 years and 4 MH's with no problems.
Hope this helps.......

THANKS garry1p
THIS IS THE KIND OF INFO THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
I ask One of the Mechanic at the rv shop how I could put the pink stuf in my rv. he told me that they where doing something like that. but would not tell me on how the set up worked. I guess he wanted me to take the MH to the shop and charge me for winterizing.
Thank you all for all your Help.

Instead of running a wire from your battery to run the pump you can use a small battery charger (5 amp or more) to run the pump.
In my case the battery charger was more convenient.
