I assume you don't have tank heaters. If you do, no worries at all. If you don't, leave cabinets open a bit overnight, so the heat from the furnace can reach more of the water lines. Definitely keep the water heater on while in camp. If temperatures are to be below freezing overnight, fill your freshwater tank enough for what you'll need in the night and disconnect your water hose, so the hose doesn't freeze up.
We've camped there under these conditions several times and had no problems. Good luck!
Yes, as said, leave the cabinets open, but, set your heater thermostat to 40 - 50 and bundle up under good blankets. What you're looking for is to keep the inside temp from freezing but not warm enough that your heater has to run all night and you end up with dead or low batteries in the morning . If you have a Heater Buddy use that first thing in the morning when you get up. They're safe to run at night, but we prefer not to and instead set the thermostat as stated and I jump up first thing in the morning and turn on the heater buddy.
