My question is as it gets chilly here which one would be better to make the tub and pump not freeze and not bother or damage the furs. Both slightly diluted.. winter washer fluid or the RV antifreeze? Thanks Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere. Or so I've been told.

You already have power so either plan on at least minimally heating the place as working below freezing will have you cutting then ends off yer own fingers when you're out there skinning.

At the moment the washer will stay outside as I had to condense 3 bldgs into one. Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere. Or so I've been told.
