We are here in Central Ga about 1.5 hours East of Atlanta and have been doing that for the past 4 years.
I open the water spigots and add RV pink to the holding tanks.

I do not drain the hot-water tank. It is insulated when manufactured.
I keep a small electric heater inside that comes on at 40 Degrees.

The RV points east to get the morning sun on the windshield and all blinds are up. I stuffed the vent areas with insulation to block out cold.
I also open the cabinet doors so the heat from the portable heater will circulate. You may also want to check under the cabinets for openings to the
outside that will let the cold in and plug them.
This has worked down to 6 degrees several different times and frequently into the teens.
