If he's new to RV and hooked up to water he is probably leaving both drain valves open which will build a pyramid of P--- in the black tank. In cold weather I'd pass on the heated hose and run off the fresh water tank leaving the holding tanks closed till they were near full. Drain the tanks refill the fresh water tank and run that way no worry about frozen hoses or dry matter building up in the holding tanks.
And running off the water pump IF you did have a broken pipe from freezing you'd know because the pump would be running when no faucets were open and he could turn the pump off when he was out of the rig working. And not come back to find water running out of the doors because a pipe split and he was hooked to the water bib.
