If you aren't going to be living in the motorhome, drain and winterize all the water systems so you don't have to worry about things being below freezing. But that doesn't sound like what you're planning on doing....
You want to use the fresh water tank to supply your water in the coach, and not leave the hose connected up in sub-freezing temperatures. Leaving the hose connected (when no water is flowing) will make for frozen water in the hose and the campground spigot, giving you no water and your campground a broken plumbing system.
The fresh water tank is in some above-freezing place in the motorhome, or has a heater like the other tanks. In my motorhome (not a Thor Challenger) it's underneath the queen bed, along with the freshwater pump.
It would be wise to enquire about the best way to get propane at the campground. There are a few approaches, and what is most practical and economical will vary from place to place.
I echo what nomad_289 said. Do lots of research and reading on cold-weather camping. I'm no expert myself; I barely know enough to realize that I am largely clueless.
