Been sitting here reading all kind of post from mounting spare tires, to faulty trailer lights, and so on...
Then I had this thought. I know I have a shower on my recently acquired 232 limited, but where is the tank? Where do you add water? But most importantly I assume I need to remove all said water pretty soon before it freezes. Do I just turn on the power and use shower until it quits? Or is there a better method?

Thanks in advance

In Texas we don't have much of a freezing issue, but I do put about 1/2 cup to a cup of bleach in just to keep algae from forming after sitting for a couple of months. As for draining, I have not found a way to empty the tank other than running the shower! Hopefully another member has an answer to that.

When I drained the one in my old 232, I found it went much faster if I unscrewed the shower head off the hose...

I never added any additives as I just drained as much water out of the system as possible. You only have to worry about something expanding and breaking IF the water has no room to expand as it freezes.
