Winterizing Pop Up?

Newbie Question - I have a new 2021 Flagstaff Forest River 176 SE pop up tent camper. It is the smallest, most basic of these robust off-road models - no bathroom, no hot water heater, no AC. I have pumped and drained all the water from tank and lines. Since it is such a basic system, do I need to add RV anti-freeze for outdoor winter storage? If so, what is the best way to do this? I have read about kits and blowing out and all kinds of things that I think are over the top for my situation. Thanks for any advice.

Does it have a water filter and is it empty?

Does it have a swing galley? If so it probably has a flex hose for the sink drain. Is that empty of water?

If you are sure you have no water sitting in any lines anywhere then you should be ok.

When we had our popup we just used this:

A couple pumps is enough to fill the water lines.
