Get some RV antifreeze and pour some into the waste tanks--then you won't need the heaters.
Once you get to Kentucky or Missouri it won't matter anymore and you'll be good.
We've made a trip from MI->FL in December without issue (We left MI with the coach winterized and dewinterized at our first stop in Southern OH then re-winterized immediately upon returning home).

That does make sense (the fresh tank is right under the bed after all) and it is reassuring to know that it can be done. Logic told us it was possible, but just how risky was it and how cumbersome to winterize/dewinterize/rewinterize was our newbie concern. I guess it's not really that big a deal is it. Friends with a TT do something similar when they head for Colorado in late winter.
We'll keep the tank melting idea in the back of our minds just in case.
I've noticed you are in the mitten state too. Where? We are mid-way between TC and the Dunes (about 10-15 minutes either way). Let us know if you are ever in need of a boondocking spot up north. We're seasoned tent campers in our younger days but we'd love to pick more experienced RVers brains in exchange for a scenic parking spot on our heavenly 10 acres overlooking (or actually in) one of our horse pastures. Level grass, no hookups, but a long hose can provide a refill for your fresh water tank with the best tasting well water around. Lots of deer and sandhill cranes to watch in season too. Cats OK if they stay in the rig (our 3 are territorial and jealous, spoiled children), but sorry no doggies.
