EDIT: Side note, don't let the south fool you. We get below freezing very often. We thaw out during the day, but we freeze nearly every night. And 8 days of snow last year. Whoo hoo.
But, it's not getting very far below freezing and as you pointed out, goes above freezing during the day. That may not even be enough to cause issues.
If it sits unused for any length of time, just blow out the lines, pretty easy and quick, which will give peace of mind.
That's pretty much what we do. We use the RV during the winter. When stored the the lines have been blown out with air. When we go to use it and it's going to get below freezing, I pre-charge the gray and black tanks with some pink stuff. I know lots of ski bum types and RV plumbing is pretty robust in the event of a freeze. I have had my fresh water lines freeze before with no harm done although I prefer to not let it happen.
