That should work fine!
Are You planning on a complete Flush and Fill or are You just topping up? Ive been advised that after 3-4 Years it is advisable to drain Flush and Put in New Antifreeze.

I have been told that Extended Life Coolant is not compatable with an antifreeze that requires the addition of SCA's.
I think, a call to the chassis manufacturer would be in order, and I would find out what kind of antifreeze was installed at the factory.
Then I would obtain the same type before adding anything else.

Newmar's Spartan chassis' are using Final Charge (Pink) glycol. It is extended life and can be found in most, or at least many, Walmart stores for $9.95 per pre-mixed gallon. No SCA adding is required.
