I use our camper for one hunting trip in November in south central BC, when it always freezes -- one year it was -25C for a few days. For those trips, before leaving, I winterize the camper, draining the tanks, and blowing out all the water lines and drains with an air compressor. So there is no water in any plumbing or tanks that might freeze.
We don't use the toilet -- there is a pretty good outhouse where we hunt.
We take water in 5 gal containers, and keep it from freezing inside the camper or in the truck during the day. We do use the kitchen sink (but with no gooseneck drain) and the draincock open on the gray tank so the soapy warm water flows right out of the sink, thru the tank, and out into a small pit. At night, we have arctic sleeping bags so we don't have to run the forced air furnace all night. We run a genny maybe an hour a day to charge up the camper battery. It all seems to work.
