I'm curious why a lot if antifreeze is needed. If the water tanks, heater and plumbing are drained as dry as gravity will make them before inserting the antifreeze, I find it only takes 1/2 a gallon or so to winterized the fresh water system on the Landfall.

Has anyone got any good way to get the antifreeze taste out of the water system, other than just repeated flushing with fresh water? A pal of mine suggests that the best way to winterize the FW system is with (cheap) Vodka. Can anyone think of a reason that wouldn't work? You certainly wouldn't have the hassle of flushing the system in the spring. I wonder if the alcohol would rot to rubber in the pump?
