We winter camped in the Pocono Mountains for years. We used windshield washer fluid to protect the valves in our grey and black water tanks by flushing it down the toilet and pouring it down the drains. We used bottled water for drinking and cooking. We never once had a problem with our RV doing that. You should easily be able to dewinterize the day before you leave, putting your heat on at the same time. Just make sure your pipes and tanks are empty before you leave. Depending on how long you drive day 1, you should be out of the "freeze zone" when you stop. If not, just pour some windhshield washer fluid down the drains and use sparingly. There will be many CG's open as you go south. There's a great overnight stop in northern NC, I95 Exit 171 (Carolina Crossroads CG) that gives you a full service site for only $25. They have a great bath house that's right across from these sites. There are several other CG's in NC along 95 that would work just as well. Don't worry - you won't have problems concerning the cold. Have a great trip~
