Check that your water pump intake valve is closed (you may have opened it to suck in antifreeze from the bottle).
Also, check your hot water bypass is off, if you're getting cold water flowing but mostly air from the hot.

That is what it was, did not turn the valve back the other way,
So Now I am not getting anything out of the hot water line,
The hot water tank was drained in the fall,
All the valves look right ?

Double check by having a look at the site below and make sure it's in "Normal flow".

I was talking to a friend yesterday, He thinks that I do not have enough water in the system, will go out and add some more next weekend, and see what happens.
Check the batteries also , seems they were low, but the trailer is parked close to a tree, so the solar panels are not getting enough light, batteries have only on for a week,
Also may be getting two old, put on 2012, we will see the first trip out how they are doing.
