How Cold is Too Cold?

Our last TT was not winterized, at all, so this new trailer is a bit confusing with what we can and can't do in the cold. (2013 Rockwood UL 2904SS).

It says it's for extended seasons and has the black covering completely over the bottom. It, also, has heaters on the gray and black tanks.

But it doesn't say anything about temperature. We're taking it out next week and there's a chance one night's lows could be in the mid-20's. (Day temps are fine..40-60)

Does the furnace, also, heat underneath? If we slowly run the faucets when it's in the 20's, will that prevent the outside city water line from freezing or should I go buy a heated water hose to bring? (Or just disconnect it at night?)

Thanks in advance!!

Put water in your fresh water tank, unhook your hose and use your onboard pump at night. With heated tanks you should be ok. We have the same and have spent nights in the Sierras with temps as low if not lower than what you are facing.
