The overnight temps for the first 2 nights are forecast to be in the low 20s. After that, it should be above freezing. I’d we fill our tank, will our lines freeze overnight if the inside of the camper is heated to 65 degrees and it warms up during the day?

I’m not really worried about the tanks though because of the volume and small amount of time exposed to low temps.

If you're using the furnace and the lines are all in an enclosed underbelly, you should be good. If you're using space heaters/fireplace for heating, that heat will NOT go under the trailer. Remember to leave your cabinet doors open below sinks either way.

That said, it's probably going to be OK. I would try to keep the waste tanks empty at night and the fresh full. What pipes are not in the cabinets? Usually the line from the fresh water goes directly into the interior and then pipes are run in the back of cabinets. PS: consider running the hot water heater at night.

I would never trust weather forecasts to be that accurate. If the forecast is off by 10 degrees, your pipes can easily freeze up. I would drain the fresh tank and blow the lines out with air. Fill. your water tank when you get to camp.
