I camp through the winter (for pheasant hunting in eastern Colorado). If I expect it to get below 20° overnight, I take the showerhead off my outside shower and run hot water into my fresh tank (fresh fill is next to shower). My fresh is 40 gal, and my water heater is 6 gal. Brings the fresh temp up, and have not had problems overnight. Normally gets over freezing during the day, so no problem there.
Shower has a non-freeze drain, so when I turn off the pressure, I can squeeze the handle, and water drains from the shower line.
The only problem I have had over the last 5 years was the gray drain freezing on. I now put vaseline on the cover and the gate, but it has not been cold enough to know if it works. Mild winters the last couple of years.
