cheap vodka is another solution.

and its a bonus in spring.

Anyone use the water tank during winter camping?

They'll freeze at 31.99F if you wait long enough.  Simplest thing is
to drain the tank and pour in enough RV antifreeze to pump through
the lines *and flush out the sink trap.*

Porta-potti in the dead of winter works pretty well with straight RV
antifreeze in the upper chamber.

The stuff is generally colored pink and is clearly marked for potable
water systems.
