^^This is very true!!
The OP will do just fine, in the conditions he describes!
Yes the OP will be fine. Likely in conditions he describes, if he keeps inside warm enough to be comfortable no other action would be needed.
In the case of the poor fellow trying to make do, with a pop up, temps in the teens, daytime 30s, it is foolish to continue trying to use water supply. A tent, or canvas sided tent on wheels is not suited to well below freezing temp camping.

First, if I was the type to be offended by what others think I would go into a rant behind the "poor fellow" snot. DW and I have spent many wonderful times in the camper when it is cold. When we where both working, she would take vacation the last 2 weeks and first week of year. That time, parking truck for 3 weeks cost us the least. If did not enjoy, would not do. We don't plan to go out in that cold, but we prepare for what might happen, weather rarely changes plans.
We only use the inside sink for washing and teeth before bed. All cooking and dishes are done outside. Most water we take out of tank, I put container under drain to fill.
I understand very few of you that take a house to campground would enjoy what we do. Strokes/Folks deal. But somebody might, when faced with unexpected cold think about reflecting heat back up on the water system. The bottom of your 5th wheel all enclosed? Just some tape to hold the emergency blanket tight might reduce heat going to ground.
Bell, I keep some in my sticks and bricks. Straight pins, pushed into door trim from top, where holes will never be seen will hold them up. And they work good to keep heat in the occupied rooms in case of power outage. I don't live in Texas where they seam to like that kind of thing, but it can happen here.
