Newbie Winterize and Wires Question

Picture below is taken by looking down under the closet.
1) trying to figure out what these two blue wires are for in the picture? They aren't connected to each other or to anything just terminate in red caps.
2) Winterizing videos show a clear tube connected to the water pump to siphon RV antifreeze with. This picture doesn't show it well, but there are just white pex tubes connected to the pump on each side, no clear tube connected anywhere at all. Is this a normal FB22 setup? Where would I connect the siphon tube to ? Thanks.

Not sure what the red wires are for.

The clear tube should be with your unit, unless you bought used and the previous owner didn't include it.

That clear tube has a fitting on it, you remove the fitting on water line that goes to the inlet side of the pump and screw the clear tube on at that point then put the clear tube in a gallon of pink stuff and turn the pump on.

One word of caution, when removing that inlet side fitting of the pump, there's a gasket in the fitting, don't lose it

Thanks majorairhead but alas no clear tube whatsoever, even 18"+ forward from the closet. Looks like AS forgot to install this one. Attached is another picture of the water pump. Small screen "filter" in-line but no "T" with a valve and a clear tube I will be going back to the dealer where I bought this used for another reason and see if they can put one in for me. Previous owner always stored in a heated garage so they never winterized thru the tube with RV antifreeze.

Winterizing hose found!

The winterizing hose for the 2022 Caravel 22FB is under the sink. Pop out the large white panel under the cabinet below the sink - pull it straight out. The hose will be found on the right side attached to the "T" valve.
