Thanks to everyone for some great ideas to use! This is a testament to this great forum!

I should have been more clear - in this case using RV anti freeze to fill drains and add to the toliet bowl is simply because I had read (and appears to me) that it evaporates very slowly and the Press N Seal and / or closing drains helps to minimize any evaporation (or in the case of the toilet tank, the only thing to prevent evaporation unless you want to drain it and fill it with RV antifreeze too......)
Having toilet bowls go dry and get moldy or have drains go dry can be nasty and / or even let critters in.
After 3 months using this method we still had pink stuff in the bottom of our dishwasher. In the toliet bowls that were proably 60% RV antifreeze (about 1/2 gallon poured over the bit of water that was still in the bowl after plunging) and covered with Press N Seal, I had no noticeable evaporation, and I was very surprised that the toliet tanks had virtually no evaporation with just the a press N Seal over the full tank with a small ammout of bleach. Kind of hard to tell how much evaporation happened in the other drains filled with RV antifreeze that were closed and / or covered with Press N Seal.
Out of curiosity, I just poured some RV antifreeze in an open cup to see how quickly it does evaporate.... I'll report back on this experiment.
Hopefully this is helpful........
