Kind of depends on temperature the polar package is built for and exactly how it is built.
-- In temps in the low 20's and lower for hours on end, the water pipes which run along the floor and near the outer walls will freeze. Open all lower cabinet doors for air circulation.
-- Using the fresh water tank for drinking water probably would be better that trying to keep the outside water hose from freezing.
-- Assuming your gray & black water disposal valves are inside a compartment, get "trouble lights" from the hardware store and put 100watt incandescent bulb in them and put one in each outside compartment which as water.
-- A polar package probable requires you to be using the forced air furnace to blow warm air toward your black & gray tanks, so you have to keep using the furnace. That means having access to plenty of propane. You may use a full tank every 1-3 days.
-- If you have days down to 5-10 degrees for a day or more you should drain everything first and put the pink RV antifreeze in everything that has water in it. Bottled water for drinking.
