winterizing after MH has been sitting

I haven't posted in awhile so if this is in the wrong place, please let me know.

My MH was winterized 2 years ago. Should I repeat the process or is the antifreeze that's in the line still ok?

Thank you.

Thank you all. I did have the gas drained and put in new. I had put in Stab-bil but didn't want to take any chances.

I will add to drains and toilet then. If time, I will redo. I'do feel better.

a previous motorhome sat for nearly 3-years due to family problems. it had been winterized and re-do it apart from adding some to the sink p-traps and to the toilet to keep the seal moist. I was worried about the fuel even though I had added Sta-Bil to the tank so i took it for a long drive once or twice during this period of inactivity to burn off some of that stale gas which was then replaced with fresh gas and Sta-Bil. when we were finally able to use the MH again we found the plumbing (as well as everything else) to be in good shape.

I,d be worry more about the fuel system, not good to sit that long. and if it was my rv I,d do it all over again. things dry out.

At a minimum I would pour some antifreeze into the drains. If they dry out that could lead to odor problems.
