Hi,
It is no mystery. It is a case of thermal mass. It takes a long time for an RV to freeze up. The amount of energy required to freeze water is the same as that required to change the temperature by 170 degrees.
If day time highs do not reach 32 F, then the RV will eventually freeze up.

We just returned from a trip to southern Utah -- the temps each night were around nine or ten above zero, although the days were in the mid 30s.
Based on this experience, we are planning to do some snow camping. But if anyone can solve the mystery of why we did not have problems with freezing, I would like to hear your thoughts!
