This predicament has made the rounds here many times. We've camped in cold weather and finally below about 10F degrees, plugged in or not resorted to running a dry ship. This means no water in the system and using straight minus 50F degree RV antifreeze to flush the toilet. Our water for drinking is in smaller burst proof jugs.
Cold is an all intrusive menace. We've blown our water pump; split the water lines; froze up the dump valves and grey dump line and generally made a mess of things in very cold weather, all of which is invisible until after it thaws. But...we made our own mistakes and I"m thankful for 1st hand experience, as caustic as it was. With a 2 season camper (Fall and Spring) we simply go dry during the white season. We don't TC in summer.
It's still possible to have a good time.
