My son is a college athlete and we recently purchased a 2017 Freedom Elite 23H to follow him around the country during his season. However, many of the places we'll be traveling to will be below freezing and we'll be boondocking. We had our first experience this past weekend and we had a couple of failure points.

Our freshwater line froze somewhere between the tank and water pump. Our generator is just below this area, so we turned it on and it seemed the thaw out the issue. After that, we were all clear until it was time to dump the grey water and the valve was frozen shut.

Does anyone have any tips for RV-ing in below freezing weather? Should we consider tank/line/valve heaters, etc? I also assume we should get dual batteries, currently there is only 1. Should we consider vent insulators, heated hose, etc...
