Winterizing issues - Rockwood 301FKT

[Seadog]

Returned home to Iowa this week arriving temps were in the 60’s with lows in the forty’s so did not winterize before coming back north. Temps are going to drop for a couple of days and decided I better winterzie. My trailer is Brand new, bought it in Alabama during my winter stay, so first time using was the drive home to Iowa. I did the normal winterize prep - drained water heater and turned valves to winterize position on water heater, drained all water lines. I have a antifreeze inlet, turned valve to allow pump to suck anitfreeze into the water lines, pump was running but not sucking the antifreeze into the lines. I noticed the water line on the anitfreeze inlet valve was colasped (like the pump sucked the line flat and it could not suck the antifreeze into the lines) and not sucking the antifreeze into the lines. I ran out of daylight and stopped, so have the furnance running tonight. Thinking I need to replace the short line from the antifreeze input to the valve with pex vice the hose that was factory installed. Has anyone out there had this issue and what was your fix. My trailer is a 2026 Rockwood 301FKT.
