Do you think I could get away with using anti-freeze in my waste tanks and visit say Yosemite during winter (teens at night and above freezing during the day)?

How much more rocking do you think I would expect compared to my camper?
Rocking is the result of camper COG and truck suspension.
For some time I had basement TC on 4WD and flatbed. That set come over 13' tall. Rocking wasn't that bad, but I could not stand the vision of having tire blow.
Coming to 4-seasons, I think any camper can be used in 4-seasons with adequate supply of propane and electricity.
I read the pop-ups topic, where owners used them in sub-freezing temperatures.
I, on other hand used my campers in 125F weather.
When AC working 24hr a day kept the camper semi-comfortable in the center, opening any cabinet on sunny side was like opening an oven.

Not exact models but having basement/attic Fleetwood, I bought side entrance Lance for driving it across the continent.
Main reason for the switch was condition of Fleetwood, but there is more to bigger height than cleaning forest roads.
High camper has COG higher, so less stabilization, more rocking, more fuel and even it happen only twice on my trip, with Lance I drove under 12' bridges, when basement model would make me driving around the city.
The Hosts I have seen are good for those who appreciate big screens and recliners, so not my kind of camper at all.
Life is always compromise, so make your choice carefully.
Thanks Keyteg1. I could deal with going around bridges but obstacles on dirt roads would be more of a concern. No other easy route if you come across something you can't fit under.
I am a little turned off by extra height because I feel like I am already too tall. I really want a 4 season camper but I would only use it a few times a year currently, compared to my bi-monthly trips around CA. However, a 4 season camper would open up a lot more camping opportunities for me. I have a budget of under 10k and can not find an arctic fox or similar in decent shape within my budget.
