   The waste tanks are big enough to allow for any ice expansion. I would not worry to much about them. Drains, traps,  and lines are the bigger concern, don't forget the outside shower and black tank flush line. I put some A/F in the toilet bowl also to keep the seal moist.

	I do ensure waste is removed. I add a combo of water, treatment and antifreeze. Not a lot. 1 or 2 gals per tank.

	Hi all - thinking ahead to the winterizing process for my Pod; hoping to get one more trip in but getting colder! My specific question is about the best way to handle the black/grey water tanks. My winterization process is a combination of gravity flow to low point drains and compressed air to do initial line-clearing, then anti-freeze in lines and drains to avoid any damage from freezing of residual moisture. In draining the lines and adding antifreeze, undoubtedly some water/antifreeze mix will end up in each of the waste tanks. I'm wondering if that is an issue, and if I would be well-served to take the Pod for a last trip to the tank dump station to get as much of the residual liquid out as possible. Curious to know what others do as the final step in the process......
