Will any remaining water in the system be OK when diluted with the anti freeze?

I am getting ready to do my first winterization on my TT, a Flagstaff 27 BEWS,
I think I understand what needs to be done, but in what order is not clear.
I have built a fitting (air hose to garden hose male w/regulator) for the city water connection to pump in no more than 40 psi . I have a socket that fits the anode of the water heater. And I have a small bucket and some towels to remove the water filter as dry as possible. (Is some type of "bypass" needed here?) Also some RV antifreeze for the sink/shower traps.
OK, from here what is the pecking order for a complete winterization of this TT?
Any help appreciated. I live in the Gulf Coast and it does on occasion get cold. In fact a cold spell is on the way this Fri. and Sat.
I rather ask for help doing maintenance than be cry for help on a repair.
Thanks, RMc.

Guess I should have asked a question on something important, like dog padding.
Thanks for the help.

Mike- since you don't have valves to keep the pink stuff out of WH , I suggest that you get a blow out fitting and blow out most the water.
Just did mine on Sunday since it might get cold for the week. Just hook up the blow out plug to a compressor (I keep a cheap weak 12v just for this) and I open the cold low point drain when it hits about 20 pounds. Repeat that about 5-7 times and you would get most of the water out of the system. I stop when all I get is mist. Took about 15 minutes. Then when I head out again(about 2 weeks) I don't have to rinse out pink stuff and I can do the same when I close up to leave.
