Is winterizing the freshwater tank on a 2430 as simple as emptying and add a couple gallons of rv antifreeze then run the shower?

I've wondered this myself. The previous owner of my boat used anti freeze and when I bought it I thought I would never get the pink completely out of the tank. For the past three years I have simply drained it without using anti freeze. So far so good. I really don't think any damage would occur with what little water may be remaining, but perhaps I'm wrong.(?)

I was thinking the same thing. I may just put enough in there to get it to pump through the pump.
