Kevin, in 2019 we were headed home from Arizona to Colorado. We were not winterized because we were planning on staying in the rig until we got home. We got into some -13 F temps in Wyoming and our DEF system froze up. It turned out we needed a software update on the Ram, which was out of warranty. We spent the night at the KOA in Rock Springs, Wyoming. With 50 amp service we ran the furnace, fireplace and a heater in the bedroom. There used to be a regular member that lived in Alaska that full timed in her Montana. I will not say it is fun, but certainly not terrible spending the night in below zero weather. As mentioned, drive with furnace on and tank heaters. That year when we left we dewinterized at 10 degrees in Grand Junction, Colorado. Not telling you that you should do it, just letting you know it isn’t an issue. We routinely camp in freezing weather. Have a safe trip. I would add one piece of advice. Use boxed DEF, not from the pumps at a truck stop. And if you have an older truck, make sure the DEF programming is up to date before you leave.
