Dishwasher in a Summer Camp

My nephew installed a new dishwasher in his home and the one he removed works fine he wants to install it in his summer camp where the plumbing is drained in the winter. Crawl space beneath the house. I guess a tee in the crawl space with a drain valve on it would take care of the hot water line. And the drain line could be looped down and back up with a drain at the bottom.
What about the pump?
Anyone ever done this??

You might have to figure out how to drain the pump -- perhaps. I'd experiment, though, and see if you couldn't figure out how much RV antifreeze you'd have to pour into it to do the job. Open the drain line drain valve (good idea, that!) and see... I use the stuff in the water closets and traps in the summer cottages I care for, and have had good success with it (so far...)(except for the odd mouse that drowns in the WC...).

Remove the water inlet valve and store in a warm place. Or replace every year!

But sometimes stupid applies also; kid remodeling forever on his dream house, drain all the lines and water heater but did not even flush the WC let alone antifreeze it. Tank and bowl split. Also did not open the shower valve during drain down......the shower riser split.
