Rockwood 2109S - Traveling in the Winter

We are planning a trip to the Smokies and N. Carolina in a few weeks. I'm wondering what, if anything, we should do to protect the underside pipes/plumbing. This is our first trip out of Texas, even though it does get below freezing here. I'm worried that we might hit some freezing weather once we are up in the mountains.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

We just got back from the smokies around Townsend and NC areas.
The temps are still little warm.
We were all over the mountains with no snow etc.

2 week forecast highest elevation in Smokey Mountains--Clingmans Dome

https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@4614210/ext

Looks like 10/18/2020 low is expected to be 48.


We traveled to CO last October and the lows were in the low 20's for the week and half we had scheduled. We cut our time in CO short after the week as it was supposed to be in the teens for a few of those days in the second week.

We have the tank heaters and kept the furnace set at 50 or above. The campgrounds we stayed at had electric. Also, the outside shower head was winterized. We had no problems with the trailer, but we froze our tushies off in the am.

A few weeks?? 4-8 weeks or what? Right now you will have no problem but 8 weeks from now it can be a different story. Walmart has RV antifreeze and it is easily done if the temperatures drop. The weather channel online is your friend for this trip.
