The manual has the details for winterizing, but the short form answer for the water system is to open all the faucets and open the four water system drain valves underneath. This process empties the water heater, so it is important to have the 110v water heater switch OFF whenever power is connected and and the water heater is empty (I turn the breakers off as a fail-safe backup plan)!
Obviously, you want to also have emptied the black water and the gray water at a dump station.
I could scan the manual and Email it to you if you don't have it.
I've never used RV antifreeze in the TM drains and traps and haven't had a problem so far (our winters are cold enough to get the trailer thoroughly below freezing). But if you don't open the inside faucets and let them drain, the kitchen faucet can be damaged by freezing. Here's my original repair reference (which is still working perfectly, by the way):
