Leaky Plumbing & Winter Living Prep Questions
I figured I would knock out my questions in one topic rather posting multiple threads. So I have a 86 Terry by Fleetwood that I just started living in a couple of months back since my housing plans...

WE lived in a 29' 5th wheel trailer with a 13' super slide for one winter while our new home was being built.
Temps here in our part of Oklahoma that winter was down in the 5 below zero and 40 mph winds.
I used mobile home skirting all around.
I made my own insulated/fresh thermostat temp controlled water hose with no issues ....google is a good source for how to make a good heated water hose and other tricks for rv trailer winter time living.
I made 11 inside storm windows from 1/8" Lexan 4' X 8' sheets from Lowes.
I had a rv dump installed in my home septic tank. I made about 25' of 4" PVC pipe for my black/grey tank drain. No issues.
The trailer was a typical 3 season unit with R7 walls/floor/roof so interior sweating was a huge issue.
WE tried cracking a vent/window but all that did was make a cold drafty camper and central heater running 24/7. The only relief we found from sweat was using two dehumidifiers.
I can't speak for your heating unit but as one poster says have a stand by heat source ready. Good luck.
