When the anti freeze is pumped directly through the pump and into the 
system it is used to push the water in the plumbing out and replace it 
with pure anti freeze. RV anti freeze shrinks when it freezes.

Typically a dealer will blow as much water out of the plumbing from the 
city water fill with an adapter and then pump anti freeze through the 
pump and into the system allowing additional flow from the tap to ensure 
the P traps are filled with anti freeze.

 If I understand you correctly you are adding anti freeze to the fresh 
water tank when it still has 15 or so gallons still  in it. As you say 
down in your part of Texas it works for you. No dealer up here in the 
frigid North I have ever been acquainted with would either recommend or 
do it that way. Not and guarantee the job against freeze up.
