Suppose one drove an RV to winter resort and staying in a lodge for a week. Would you run out of propane (assuming you had propane) or battery for furnace? Would you winterize RV prior to trip and leave it that way while traveling? What do northerners typically do?

Chance...Funny you bring these questions up because I'm planning on doing some winter camping this coming year but nothing in the Northern tundra. Perhaps a trip or two to eastern Texas and some other areas that get below freezing. It'll probably be 85 - 90 degrees in GA thru December the way it's looking now. It's the end of Oct. and still in 80s.
I've been wondering if keeping the coach warm when the temps drop to around 20 degrees F or somewhat less would keep the water lines under the coach and fresh water pump from freezing up? Anyone with experience winter camping feel carefree doing this w/o adding the pink stuff to drains or taking other winterizing precautions?
