I always blow all the water out of the lines with my air compressor and only put anti-freeze in the sink and tub traps.
Certainly works provided folks are obsessive. Like most in the industry I do both simply because I gotta warranty my work and the pink proves I did it.
joking of course, but this is my first season with an RV in a very long time and being in the south I never winterized,
just drained and blew out as it never stays cold for THAT long down here ! (which I like !)
Steve, I tried talking to my wife as suggested. I don't think you'll be hearing from me much for a while. the wifi in the hospital is terrible, and the anticipated recovery time from having every bone in my body broken is somewhere north of six months.

You were supposed to have the conversation with the wife Via Cell phone.....
Less impact that way.....
Come on up. Calgary is hiring right now. Houses aren't cheap, but average wage is pretty high. Might be smart to bring a wife with you, I married the last good woman in this town . . .

I didn't want to start a new thread, this may be an easy question to answer.
The hot water tank drain plug on my new trailer leaks. I happened to have a second, brand new plug, and tried that, and it also leaks.
It is the type shown in this picture:
Any advice for how I can seal these threads better? They must be damaged somehow on the tank side, as the new plug leaked more than the old one. That old one had quite a bit of teflon thread tape on it, more than I'm accustomed to using. I guess that was the Previous Owner's attempt at sealing it.
Teflon tape or Teflon paste (Great White from Lowes). The plugs are often hard to seal even with good threads and have to tightened more than one might expect. Those plugs come two in a pack. Ditch the old one and try it with a new one.
If the plug has a anode on it be careful with Teflon tape. You need metal to metal contact for the anode to do its job. Maybe apply tape to the last few threads.
