We do quite a bit of extended fall/winter camping(boondocking) with night time temp's generally from 0 to 25 F.Though we've seen a few -20 F's. First... I'll qualify all of this with...I know nothing about a motorhome. So, I'm making a few assumptions.
Is all of your plumbing (tanks,lines,ect.) in a heated underbelly. If so, your unit heat would/should keep all well if unit inside temps were kept above 40 F. This is allowing that the underbelly area is a little cooler than the living area. Keeping the living quarters at a tolerable temp (but above freezing), should help conserve batteries.
Also, how long are the ambient temps to remain below freezing? It will take a little time for the water to freeze, once temps have fallen below freezing! So, unless you see below freezing temps for several hours... I "think" you'll be OK.
Good Luck and Happy Trails
