Simple... don't fret it. Hot water in the tank is actually your BEST option, not the opposite. If you are plugged in, it's a no brainer.
Also, since water does not freeze until WELL BELOW 32degrees for many hours, especially for water lines WITHIN your RV, you don't need to over worry about the temperatures and your 'new' RV. It's quite possible in your area that you'll not need to worry about 'winterizing' at all.

Are you sure if the hot water meets 27 degrees it won't freeze
Years ago in college someone told me a bottle of Jack cannot freeze. I had to stick it into a freezer to find out, but we drank the bottle so I never found out
My original plan was to set thermostat for furnace to 45, open cabinet doors and leave water heater on. But I had to read the owner's manual. I am just trying to do all the book says in part because I am fishing for something to be wrong or to not work. (knock on wood) This coach has worked marvelous to this point 5 nights and 1500 miles.
I don't need shore power for the furnace or the heater. I am actually plugged up now, but I have 50 amp breaker off. I am trying to see how long I could be standalone (boondocking) before having a problem. I have 1000 watt inverter which dam near runs everything. The fridge is off and door cracked open for air circulation.
Asa I learn more I may need to just turn 50 amp breaker back on and just let it rip. I just don't want to put undue hours on anything not needed
