I don't know a lot about this stuff, but once thing I do know is you can't count on the "room to expand" argument here. If you have a pipe that has a low spot and that low spot has water in it, that water will freeze from the outside in. So the water at either end will freeze first and block any expansion for the water in the middle. Will that be enough to burst your pipe? I have no idea. I guess the answer is it all depends!
I do think that most modern RV's are made with freeze protection in mind. I think they do their best to avoid hanging pipes that would trap water. Of course that is with the exception of water traps in the drain system.
