Question Filling my fresh water tank

I have a 2017 DBR38S3 Drv I bought new, it is located permanently in the North Carolina mountains. So, in the fall I leave for Florida for the winter. I have always had an rv service company winterize my coach, no problem. But this year I think I want to do it myself. The problem I have is the fill for the freshwater tank is designed for a garden type hose connection, I don’t seem to have a gravity inlet. So other than buying a pump to add antifreeze to my fresh water tank is there any way for me to add a few gallons of antifreeze to my tank so I can pump it through my coach?

Take the pump suction loose and make a suction line long enough to reach the bottom of the gallon jug

Don’t put any antifreeze in your tank. Just drain your tank. Your water pump should have a inlet for the antifreeze. Just connect a hose to that and place in the bottles and the pump will suck it up. You do have to turn the valve to prevent it from going into the tank and there is valve to block the antifreeze from going into the water heater. Do not forget to drain your heater heater

Do you have a kantleak manifold?
If you do, it had a ‘sanitize’ feature that will pull antifreeze from a jug through the pump.

Picture of you water inlet would help.

Where in North Carolina?
