In our previous Class C, we would winterize the freshwater system (and just not use it - we'd use a jug of water). For temps in the mid-20's, we'd put about a half-gallon of antifreeze in the black and gray tanks; and then for any liquid dumped down a drain, add an equal amount of antifreeze. We would flush the toilet with antifreeze. Our tanks and plumbing were completely exposed to the outside temps and we never had a problem. It's not the tank that will freeze, it's the plumbing lines/valves for the drains.
For temps anticipated below mid-20's, we would simply winterize completely and not put anything down the drains (urine can freeze at 28 degrees). We carried a Luggable Loo, which is simply a 5 gallon bucket, with a seat and used a WAG bag liner with kitty litter for those middle-of-the-night calls. Otherwise, we relied on the campground's facilities. We did this for over a decade - folks in Michigan regularly head south during bitter cold ;-)
