Hi Gary and or Deb.

Someone will probably post you links on winterizing. But I will try to give you some food for thought. The pex hose you spoke of MIGHT be a place to hook up an air compressor to blow the water from your lines. If it is a
place to load ( possibly after market modification ) antifreeze, try to locate where it is is connected. ( ie after the fresh water tank, after the water pump ). I have to disconnect the hose clamp and hose in between the fresh water tank and the pump. I then insert the end of the hose directly into the antifreeze container. I want antifreeze in the pump but not in the fresh water tank. ( I turn on the water pump and wait for pink to come out of all of the outlets , INCLUDING the toilet wand)You will also want to set the water heater bypass into normal mode and run some antifreeze into the water heater for a few seconds.
One of my methods for winterizing is opening up all drains and faucets,
and driving up and down some hills. Hope that I helped more than I confused. Dave
