How do you winterize it with a tankless water heater ? How do I get the antifreeze in the lines?

I would contact the gerard people and ask. Not sure what RV antifreeze would do to the tankless unit.

Please also see the manual:
http://greenrvproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/GSWH-1-WH-Owners-Manual-Eng-REV-4-09-20101.pdf

DIRECTLY QUOTING FROM THE ABOVE LINKED MANUAL:
WINTERIZATION

Freezing of the water heater and its plumbing components will result in severe damage not
covered by warranty. For this reason it is advisable to follow the recommendation(s) below if
the unit is to be stored in a freezing environment or for long periods of time. At the start of the
winter season or before traveling to a location where freezing conditions are likely, the unit must
be winterized. The very small amount of water present in the heat exchanger DOES NOT require
the installation of a bypass kit. Winterization can be accomplished using one of the two common
methods of winterization used for RV water systems:
• Compressed Air method: Drain all water from the system opening one tap at a
time and using compressed air to purge all remaining water.
• Anti-freeze method: Follow the recommendations of the Recreational Vehicle
manufacturer and fill the system with a non toxic anti-freeze. Make sure that the
anti-freeze flows from each tap to complete the process.
