Easiest thing you can do is to spend an hour on Youtube. There are alot of excellent videos showing you how to do it properly.

To post here every step would take hours.

Relax, it is really very easy to dewinterize your rig.

This is what I do.
Hook up your water hose and adjust the water valves to send city water to the fixtures. Open the fixtures (first hot then cold) and let the water run until its not pink. Don't forget the outside shower and the two low point drain valves.
Adjust the water valves to fill your freshwater tank. Stop when it's about a quarter full. Then turn the water valves to the Normal position and use the water pump to flush the fixtures again.
Put the drain plug back into the water heater and open up the water heater bypass valves.

Thank you very much! next newbie question- where are the water heater bypass valves? Appreciate the helpful tips and I know it’ll make sense and easier after doing it!

Attach to water, close water heater bypass (youtube it if you don't know how) and turn water on until its clear.

The water heater bypass valves are on the rear of the water heater. Remove the access panel under the stove.
