ok, i know this has been covered before, but how many gallons of rv antifreeze should i use for the coachman santara. it has the valve pattern by the valves on how to winterize, just put the suction tube in the gallon and open the faucet valves one at a time i guess, but how many gallons do i need? and any tricks for this thing? i have emptied the fresh water tank. i did not see a drain valve, so i used the diagram and pumped it out.  any help please? thanks, bob

Here's the library article on winterizing.  There's another one on dewinterizing.  The thing I do differently is suck the antifreeze straight into the system through a suction tube (connected to the water pump) like you mentioned, vs. pouring it into the fresh water tank and pumping it through that way.  There's no standard for how many gallons you need, because every rig has different amounts of plumbing that need filled.  I can get away with 2 gallons bare minimum, but you might need 3-4.
