Fresh water lines will be inside.
Empty or near empty gray and black are outside.
Recommended some pink antifreeze in my first reply.
Storage is heated.

Without his knowledge for days? Maybe.
Driving - inside the Class C will be heated, so
the fresh water line and tank will be above 32*.
If for some reason temps drop below 32* what little
water that is on the fresh water line will take hours to freeze.
Non pressurized lines with open faucets will give any remaining
waters plenty of room to expand if it did somehow drop that low
inside coach while driving.
To each his own.
Mine stayed outside in 6* weather for 2 days with the heat set on
the lowest setting and Pink stuff in the traps and tank.
Never in the lines.
Was I lucky? Maybe.
Nothing freezes above 32* and the inside does not get that low.
The OP can real all the replies and make his decision.
Lots of opinions.
1-8-2015 FYI ...
It got down to 11* last night here.
RV is in the driveway just as I said above.
It was 50*+ inside.
I check it daily. No problems.
