I did not say turn off the heat, I said turn the heat down. Lowering from 70* to 55* is not allowing pipes to freeze....
The reason I don't agree with the above is that it is often difficult to get an even distribution of heat throughout an RV in winter. So while it might be a comfortable 70* in the main living area, at the same time it might be only 55* inside a cabinet where the water pipes run. Therefore turning down the main living area to 55* might mean that inside cabinets or other remote parts of the RV might end up below freezing.
The amount of money saved by turning down the thermostat for a weekend when not in the RV to monitor temperatures is not worth the risk and expense of frozen pipes.
