For the lines to freeze in a living area the temperature inside the RV needs to be below freezing long enough that all the water in those lines get below freezing. That will not happen overnight when the temperature hovers around the low thirties and depending on your RV maybe not for the high 20'. Note this is while your living in the RV and during the day the inside of the RV is warm enough to walk around in shirt sleeves.
I live in N. Virginia so I understand the weather your talking about. If you have concerns about the Mid Atlantic's occasional very cold snaps equip your RV with an oil-less air compressor instead of the less expensive kind. That way you can blow the water lines free of water. Make a run to the dump station before dark then snuggle a warm blanket with a worry free mind. The added advantage is winterizing for putting the RV away at the end of the trip will be partly accomplished.
