Water Heater

We need to fill up our TC with water Wednesday night for a cross country trip. Question is overnight lows will be in the low twenty high teen range and i am concerned about things freezing up. Inside will be heated so i am not worried about the water lines,water tank,camode etc. I am however concerned about the WH,will it be ok or should i try to insulate it from the outside? All suggestions/thoughts appreciated.

    If it stays in the twenties for most of the night, fill your water tank and shut off the city water connection. Use the water pump overnight.

    It should be fine. Gallons of water don't readily freeze. If it still worries you, a real easy fix is to turn it on.
