Yes, you risk damaging the water lines. The risk is directly proportional to how cold it gets for how long. Even 30° for one hour can freeze those tiny lines. Will that damage them? Who knows. How about providing some supplemental heat, or blowing out the lines but no antifreeze? Or just wing it. The risk is pretty low, but the other side of the coin is it could result in hidden damage that causes big problems like delamination down the road. No easy answer. Easy for me to say take a chance cause it ain't mine to pay to fix down the road. So do you feel lucky today?

Really??

Seem it takes at least a couple hours to make small ice cubes when the freezer is a zero or even -10 degree F.

Part depends on daytime temps, if daytime gets to high 40's or low 50's shouldn't be an issues even down to about 28 degrees. If you look at hourly temps likely only below freezing for about 2 to 4 hours, the trailer is a heat sink, and will hold the daytime heat.

Reading comprehension 101.

I read the post, I have never worried unless forecast below 28 degrees, likely above 50 during the day, the heated mass of the fiver with not cool to 32 in a couple of hours.
If the daytime was only like 35, yes, then blow the lines you will be fine.
We have winter camped in the PNW for years, and never drain the water lines unless forecast for below 28, and cold days, or if I will be out of town for a week or more.
