RV antifreeze is not meant to be diluted, so would be rather ineffective used in a waste tank. We do as above, use automotive antifreeze, one gallon in each tank.
...put 2 gallons of vodka in your fresh-water tanks when you refill...should keep them from freezing solid (may get a bit slushy though )
IMO the only way to keep all your tanks from freezing solid in winter (east-coast winters are very severe, as you no doubt already know) is to use a heated basement. However, you've got an A, I couldn't imagine your vehicle not having a forced-air or electric tank heating system-- right out of the factory?!?

Why not drink the vodka, then let nature take it's course? It'll get in the tank eventually. Well, I guess it won't work quite as well, you need the alcohol in the tank. But...by the time you get done with the vodka, you won't care that your tanks are frozen solid.
I wonder where you dump those tanks..... automotive anti-freeze poured down a sewer here is a "hangin' offence".... no matter how much it's been diluted.
you could use proylene glycol, food grade glycol, which unlike ethylene glycol is not toxic. Not sure as to the characteristics or specs for dilution or if it even can be and still be effective.
I would NOT under any circumstances put ethylene glyvcol in my tanks. You get caught dumping that anywhere and as someone said it is a "hangin' offense". Not safe and definitely not a cool thing to do.
