Question Freezing Water Systems Question

Recently purchased a new 2019 View 24 D . During freezing temperature travels is there sufficient heat circulating under the floor / bath / outside water lines hook-up compartment to keep water lines from freezing during traveling and camping ? There is storage tank heating systems and a Truma Aquago heater in the hot water system . I know that any outside city water line / sewer line should be removed and drained during freezing temperatures and water storage tanks should be used . We would like to use the View later this year before winterizing .

This is one that will have lots of different answers that will depend on lots of small points. First is the experience of the user! Are you used to freezing weather and dealing with it at home, etc? That means you are familiar with the why and how of water freezing things like pipes and you will know lots more. But if not there are lots of small points that you need to consider. Things like how warm it is inside the RV and how long and how cold it gets outside, will all change the answer of what pipes/tanks might freeze. Twenty degrees for a couple hours and I don't worry for most things that are in the RV but 10 degrees or an unheated RV and it can be a disaster!
It is often very much a guess until you have tried it the way you are going and temp for the length of time needed. If you have pipes in storage that is stuffed with blankets, you get a different answer than if you leave the storage open so the dog can get inside and warm!
For our use, we do not take chances as the penalty is too high. We have done things like carry water in jugs to avoid redoing the winterize! We use the black water but add pink antifreeze to it.
Sorry, no firm answers to all the variables.
