The pipes in most RVs are made of PEX.. They don't burst when freeze/thaw happens.
Oh the water heater will
And the assorted elbows. t's adapters. valves and other fittings may well crack or burst
But the pipes. never.

Just curious...other than damaging the hot water heater, what kind of damage happens to the RV when the pipes freeze up and burst?
Thank you!

Of course there is a good way to prevenet issues. WINTERIZE by the "S" method
Though I have had one line freeze one time here in SC (Heat was in the ends of the wet bay where the fittings are so they stayed liquied but the line froze about where it crosses over the drive shaft) it was a PEX line so no damage.
Whatr is the "S" method
Drive SOUTH Strap a snow blower to the rig and when someone pushes their hat back. Scratches their head and says "What the ()@*# Is that.. You winterized.
(I did not actually do that. Just drove south till I though I was far enough.... I am).

11. Some Faucets---the necks that go up and roll over 180 degrees for the spout. The water stays in the spout and freezes Doug
