Just winterized my 180. Decided not to tear out plywood etc under the bed. Winterized the same way I have done my trailers for the last 20 years. Isolate hot water heater, drain it, remove anode and clean out debris. Blow out hot and cold water lines with low pressure compressor including low point drains. Pour 4 to 5 gallons of rv anti freeze in fresh water holding tank. Turn on water pump and open every faucet, one at a time, hot and cold side until pink anti freeze appears, including outside shower and inside shower. Including low point drains. Now your pump and all water lines are winterized. Only thing left is the traps. Put one of the empty antifreeze jugs under trailer at fresh water drain, open the drain cap, fiill up jug, and use that on your drains to fill each trap, including inside shower...Smile...you are done.
