No winterized Sunseeker 2017 2300 and temps below 32 degrees

My Sunseeker is not winterized but all tanks currently empty. Temperature next two nights to hit 30 degrees.
Will this damage anything?

Concern would be if traps contain water or in plumbing. And it gets below 32 inside. Run water pump until you are sure pipes are clear of water and pour a bit of antifreeze in all sink and drains. Or keep inside warm...

RGG, so if I keep inside above freezing, should be ok? Great! Thanks

Outside shower is the first thing to freeze. Well.... at least that's what I heard from a friend. [emoji849]

I would think an overnight dip in temps, unless it was an extreme freeze, would not hurt it so much. I think if it hit below freezing and stayed there for a day or more then it might be a problem. But I am paranoid and have already winterized mine.

Thank you. Mine might have been winterized except I am leaving to go SouthWest next week.

why don't you just blowout your lines with air. It only takes a few minutes and if really concerned about the tanks put a bit of anti freeze in them to mix with the water. Might slush up on a cold night but I doubt that it will freeze.

I wouldn't worry unless it was a hard freeze.

You should be ok if 30 is the low. I don't worry about brief dips like that, it will only be below freezing a very short time during the coldest part of the night. It's the hard freezes or prolonged times below 32 that will bite you.

Don’t forget the water filter is full of water & is plastic.

If possible, meaning shore power plugged in, turn on the furnace and set the thermostat to say 45. Open all of the cabinet doors. Open all faucets including the outside and drain via the low point drain. Just to be safe.

From an inexperienced female solo rver , I spend several nights in 27 degree windy cold weather in S.Dakota. I am driving a 2006 Sunseeker. Kept it toasty warm inside and used my water as needed. I had no problems. Was it luck? Probably .
