Gotta thaw my grey tank!!! Here we go again!
Well, I hit the trail Jan. 26 and headed into the wild wild winter.... I know to be careful with my water usage and have learned to wash things with a thimble full of water and all that, but there ...

Once you drain the tank put in a gallon of RV biodegradble anti freez in the tanks.
If you shower in the morning filling the gray tank with warm water will certainly loosen any slush. Fill the gray and black tanks with water and drain just like emptying for travel. Put in another gallon of biodegradeable anti freeze. Any little bit ,of water in there will not now freeze.
If you shower in the evening and wash dishes etc, the water in the tank will warm. Fill it then and flush.... add more anti freeze.
The anti freeze, in a mostly or completely empty tank will gather at the valves and any low point settling with the water there.
Just don't let water or sewage sit in the tank without antifreeze.
If the black tank did freeze, but nowhere near full. A hose from hot water side, in shower or sink into the tank should loosen things up nicely, especially if there is antifreeze in there. If the pink stuff doesn't work biodegradeble auto anti freeze should work.
Didn't say it would be cheap though. A big water heater would be a very nice thing to have there. Might even have to put a little insulation around the tank or outside even. When Dealer messed with our coach and replaced the water heater the dork took thee solid piece of foam insualation out, that helped cut the noise and insulated the tank. had a time getting it put back in
