The only RV antifreeze that I have used is a propylene glycol based product.
I have used it for over 30 years in motorhomes which have had copper and plastic piping with no problems.

What product are you using that has ethanol in it?

If it has ethanol then it would likely be a denatured ethanol alcohol so that it could not be injected. I would be cautious putting this into my water system unless I knew what was added to make it unsuitable for drinking.

I would suggest sticking to the propylene based antifreeze.
