The only time I have damage with the quick cold snaps is forgetting to remove my city water hose. These always freeze up on me when I do that... Even my house water hose does the same thing...
Here at the house where we get to keep our two RV trailers I drain all the tanks and blow out the water water lines and add pink stuff to the traps. I also have a THERMO CUBE installed that will turn on my oil-filled electric heater or 100WATT lights bulbs in various closed up places when it drops to 35 degrees inside the trailer and then shuts off at 45 degrees. This is all we do for heat during the winter months here in Northern Neck Virginia for our parked trailers.

I agree with the comments above if that is all the lower the temp is going to get it will take several days to freeze up enough to do any damage. Especially if it warms up above freezing each day...
