Camping in cold temps, bad idea?
Hi all, I realize there's a recent post about camping in the winter, but it talks about a better insulated fifth wheeler camping in NM subfreezing temps, my situation is different. My travel trail...

I skipped all the comments, so maybe it has been said...
I am in the process of gutting an RV that has been sitting for 13 years. The gas tank was full, water tank was full, boiler was full, and that is 13 winters of freeze/thaw over and over.
The pipes are all PEX with way too many brass connectors. There is no leak. there are no cracked pipes. There are no cracked brass fittings!
This camper has been sitting with two big windows open and the roof vents open also.
There is no issue.
I have removed the boiler, but have not tested it to make sure there is no internal damage from freezing.
The water pump was full of water, it works fine.
The kitchen, bathroom sink faucets are fine, they are plastic. The shower faucet is fine. The shower hose and head are fine.
The toilet is fine...
Get the drift?
Yes, your camper can be damaged by freezing pipes, and it is a pain to have a frozen pipe and not have water flow while camping.
13 years of neglect and no issues though... just sayin...
