Should I be concerned?

This upcoming weekend is our Halloween Camping weekend. I have a 2018 Rockwood Roo 233s. I plan to winterize it next week. Friday night the low is suppose to be 31 degrees. Should I be concerned about my lines freezing or will it be fine? I assume it will only be 31 degrees for a short period of time. The low the next night is 40.

Temps just below freezing overnight but above freezing the next day is nothing to freak out about. If it was a prolonged period below freezing, then you might have a concern.

We stayed in a CG this past January and the instructions were to open your gray tank and trickle one of the sinks. Over night for a couple weeks it was in the 20s and 40 plus during the day. They did not want their outside lines freezing. This was Southern Alabama. We have camped in Gettysburg in January in 16 degree temps over night. If you have heated underbelly like we have, keep the unit heater on and no problem.

I don’t have a heated underbelly but I think I’ll be fine. The low changed to 33 degrees now.

flirting on the edge but if only below freezing for a short time you should be fine. you could unhook your water line if really worried and put a light in your storage area and open cabinet doors to allow heat in to water lines.

I think you will be fine.

We should be concerned in Georgia - as many lakeside COE campgrounds around the N Georgia lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier are closed for the season, several weeks ago... and it was 90 degrees this weekend... crazy!!!

It can get down in the high 20's for several hours and not be a problem. If it's going to get in the mid to low 20's and the wind isn't blowing a gale, just run the furnace at normal heating temps and it'll be fine.
