Even the water lines inside the walls, next to the outside walls could possibly freeze I would think.
It would only be 1 or 2 days in cold weather before we land in a warmer climate but it's still 1 or 2 days. How do you, that travel in cold climates, prevent freezing?
I will be towing my Saturn and will not drive on slick roads...had my share of that growing up.
Thanks for any ideas you can share.

For your holding tanks pour a few gallons of the non- toxic " pink RV antifreeze" in the tanks .
For the fresh water tank we travel with only a 1/4 tank . It's more than enough for the toilet and hand washing during traveling. While driving , the water sloshing around in the tank will prevent freezing and it being located under the bed will help .
As to the plumbing pipes , as long as the interior is heated you shouldn't have any problems .
I do recommend pouring the RV Antifreeze in all the drain " P " traps , including the shower drain .
In the evening after using the sinks and showers during the day , refill the " P " traps with the antifreeze .
With you only being in cold weather for a couple days , you'll be fine.
Be aware , many states require a Motorhome to carry tire chains and you can be cited for noncompliance.
Be safe out there
