If your grey and black tank are out in the open with no heat they can freeze. If the drain for the grey and black tank are n the open they can freeze. The valves and lines can freeze and bust. Even the tanks can freeze and bust. If your tanks are enclosed and heated you could camp down to 10 degrees approx. However any valves in the open can still be damaged. Normally a 4 season type RV will have valves inside the heated area with a shaft extending out of that area to open them.
I camped in a Jayco 19RD down to 10 degrees. below that I kept the fresh water tank empty. I used the toilet but flushed using RV anti-freeze one time water the next. I carried bottled water and used the grey tank but putting RV anti-freeze in it depening how much water I used. I think the salesperson was not totally truthful. Plus I wouldn't use saltwater in my grey and black tank. If your tanks and valves are in the open with no heat it is a summer TT and should be winterized before any freezing weather to protect it. If your plan was to camp in any freezing weather the Jayco with the thermal package would work but better choice probably the Artic Fox.
