If camping during cold weather with Shore Power always available, any water line at risk of freezing can always have some "heat tape" added to it.
there are two types available. One is just a round "cable" that is self regulating and can be cut to exact length, adding power connector and end cap.
Other type is a paired cable of a fixed length that has a thermostatic switch incorporated into the connector end.
Tape to the affected lines per instruction and plug in. Like the 12V RV tank heater pads the heat tapes don't come on until temp drops below 40 and turns off before it hits 60 (F).
Biggest issue if long term camping in cold weather is being able to dump the black tank.
Bad news if it fills up because you left the valve closed like instructed and then when dumping find you just have a giant "fudgesicle" (or would it be aa tank of Chocolate Ice Cream?) behind the valve (if you can get it open).
