I have an older unit but our mh has a some heat in the back bay where all the tanks are near. My experience while living in the mh (even in 20 degree temps) is that there is enough heat from our aqua hot and as you add water to the black and grey tanks from a warm source -- the result is they don't freeze. Now if you stop using your unit while on this trip and shut off your aqua hot -- that's a whole different deal.
I have to say I can't speak to temps much below 20. Still if your unit has a bay heater like mine, that has a thermostat which I keep set for 40 degrees seems like you should be ok.
Hope I've helped.
