Usually I'm dewinterizing around the first two weeks in April. We've been camping in Northern Michigan in May when its snowed. In those cases it usually doesn't get cold enough to freeze the water in the camper--the water hose outside may freeze a little; but haven't had one burst. In fact, in the 17 years we've had a camper of some sort we've never had any of the pipes freeze.
In late April and May it may get down to freezing outside overnight, but that temperature usually happens around sunrise and then it quickly rises when the sun comes up. Thus it doesn't stay freezing long enough to get the camper cold. Once or twice I've brought a camper home so I could run the furnace overnight to keep it warm in the 17 years.
