Frost/Freeze warning tonight
Forecast calls for frost or a freeze tonight but we plan on at least one more trip next week. Really don't want to winterize for only a day or 2. We normally do the antifreeze method of winterization....

All I can tell from your post is that your rig is likely a Class A. (Please put your rigs info in your signature). Ahhh, yes, info is in your profile.
Class A's are good without winterizing to 20F during the night. If you have the Alaska build, (dual pane windows is the tip off), then even lower. Sure, leave the faucets open. That always helps. Flush the toilet too. With the water and pump off of course. I leave the electric element for my water heater ON.
Try to choose a RV spot where the wet bays get afternoon sunshine or morning sunshine (your choice), than let the air that trickles down from the living space keep the tanks warm.
BTW, water has tons of thermal energy and it takes sustained below freezing temps to freeze it so don't worry about it too much. I keep my tanks between empty and 2/3 full during cold snaps.
