Fill your water tank then disconnect and drain the hose and store like you have ben doing. I would also shut your gray water drain if it is going to be cold for a while. Water running through the sewer hose will build up ice and plug the sewer hose. Ask me how I know. It also takes a long time to get it thawed if it marginally warms up. I would also add some extra heat in the wet bay if it will be cold long. At least a 75wat regular light bulb. I have a small ceramic heater with a fan for when it gets really cold.
