I was in my camper, and it got down to about 28F one night, I was camped near Sherman Pass, just west of highway 95 and Inyokern CA. I did not expect any cold weather in April, but was around 7,600' elevation. (I went up the road looking for a campground and did not plan on being at such a high elevation, but it was a great place).
Anyway my fresh water drain valve froze, broke, and let all the water out along the highway the next day. It was a cheap plastic drain hooked up to 3/8" plastic tubing and the bottom of the tank. I did not have a furnace, grey or black tanks in that camper.
My newer camper had enclosed black tank, but no grey tank. I did not camp in freezing weather in it. By the time I got my class A Bounder, it had enclosed and furnace heated tanks, so camping at 19F was not eventful!
Have fun camping!
