Will my pipes freeze?
Tonight where I'm at the temperature will be 27 degrees outside from 2am to 8am. My motorhome is in storage, no heat force just outside. Do you think 27 degrees for 6 hours is long enough to freeze...

The problem isn't freezing, it's the hard freeze that will damage pipes. I think you're okay at 27°F. The water in the freezer analogy doesn't work since freezers are normally set at 0°F.
If your 27°F forecast isn't accurate for that location then you could have a problem. I've seen variations of 10° in weather stations around here. The forecast you see is probably at the airport. It could be colder where you're storing your motorhome.
Weather Underground has a map that switches from radar to cloud cover (satellite) to weather stations. You might check it out to get a feel for how temperatures are running near the storage lot. Look at their "Wundermap".
