We did a two week trip in October from our home near the beginning of the Alaska highway down to southern BC, going through some high country on the Banff Jasper highway. Temps were a little below freezing every night but above freezing during the day. We left our furnace on for the coldest nights, otherwise left the vent over the bed open as we don't like it too warm. I did carry pink antifreeze in case the water started to flow poorly. I put a gallon of it right beside the water pump which would have steadily released heat all night and absorbed it during the day. Oh, I think I opened the cupboard doors one night.
One time we were out a little too early and the freshwater drain tap, fully exposed to the outside froze up. I made a point of putting a warm glove over it after that.
Keep an eye on things like how the water flows late at night and early in the morning so you get a feeling for how risky the temperatures are.
