I've looked on the underside of my 318BHS and there are no low point drains.
To winterize the flusher, just like with the faucets, you have the draw tube down a bottle of antifreeze and the bypass on and the draw valve on. Turn on the pump. Then 'flush' the toilet repeatedly until the pink stuff comes out as flush water. Done.

Actually the Spree 324BHS HAS NO "proper" low point drain, the outside shower serves as the lowpoint, I couldn't find them either, but called KZ directly and had it confirmed just this morning.

An antifreeze pump works for that:
Hand Pump
OR what I intend to do is find/build a fitting that will couple the outside shower hose to the flusher inlet and pump pink through that way, also could winterize the city water connection that way too since they are side by each on the 324.

Ok, now you can feed me when you get the answer. Last year I don't believe I winterized it. Let me know what you did.

Wouldn't the black tank flusher gravity drain into the tank or is there a check valve somewhere in the line? There shouldn't be any water buildup in the line I wouldn't think?

I'd blow it out anyway. The tanks are enclosed so peeling all of that back to fix it when it would have taken you 30 seconds to blow it out would be a real pain!

There is an atmospheric break valve in that line, it's located in the back of the pantry about eye level.(Lift the lower bunk up and follow the line, it runs under the HWH then into the wall of the pantry up to the breaker then down and back out under the floor with the rest of the pipes} So technically speaking the part that leads down from it to the flusher would drain, but not the part from the hose connection to the atmospheric break.
Follow me?

That's interesting. Our 09 has the low point drains right behind the black water tank at the back of the trailer. The valves are installed in different directions - one CW to open, the other CCW to open.

AFAIK, it was a running production change in late 2009 production as it applied to the 324BHS. 318 is built in KZ PLant#3 as well, so can't see it being different in that regard
