If you can follow the pump suction line towards the tank you may be able to find a spot with enough space to add a tee and two valves. one between tee and tank the other on the free end of the tee. I did this on my 93 bounder and that way I can use a short washer supply hose to suck directly from the antifreeze jug. I have a heater bypass and only use about 1 1/2 - 2 gallons. IMPORTANT TO GET THE ANTIFREEZE IN THRU THE TOILET VALVE, blowing back may not get all the water out. Trust me I proved it once! Also has the advantage of getting antifreeze in the pump also. Using the park connection wont get any antifreeze into it. You should be able to blow the water back from sink and tub faucets but the pump and toilet valve wont get drained that way. Good luck

One word of caution, No matter which way you go, Don't forget to flush the toilet. The number 1 freeze problem was people forgetting to flush the toilet and the toilet line freezing up. Next was the ice maker water line. make sure you drain it.

Well it happened! Just pulled into my RV site here in Florida and found out I have a crack in the bottom of the valve body next to the toilet. Its on a 03 Fleetwood Pace Arrow. It has a spray line too.
Any idea where I can purchase the valve? It is a Sea Land by Dometic toilet.

OK all is well. The local RV dealer here in Arcadia had a new valve that I needed!
