Will water lines freeze?

Why haul all of that weight 1200 +/- miles? I would never trust weather forecasts to be that accurate. If the forecast is off by 10 degrees, your pipes can easily freeze up. I would drain the fresh tank and blow the lines out with air. Fill. your water tank when you get to camp.

This is the best advice here, leave it winterized until you get there. Why take a chance something freezes. Carry a refillable water jug, I use 3 gallons and carry a couple. You will have water to flush, drink and cook enroute. Even in good weather I only carry about 15 gallons of fresh, for toilet, washing hands etc. other tanks empty. You can figure about 5 gallons a minute on average filling.

Why take a chance, leave it winterized so you don't have to worry about it. If there is a ball valve on the fresh water tank it will freeze and break, don't ask me how I know. The low point drains will be exposed and freeze, the grey and black water drains will be exposed.

Don't chance it with filling your tanks ahead of time.

Don't chance drinking the water from the parks because it will kill you.
