WE have been traveling from North TX to Northern Nevada for Christmas for the last few years-to see the kids and of course take care of the them while their parents work and they are out of school. We travel with the fridge on LP, always have for 25 years. We do not have the heater on and find most of the time there is no freezing of the systems while we travel for 8-10 hours.
We also have good heated hoses, heater cords for the water hookups, the best sewer hoses we can buy that do not crack with the cold, and hook the sewer drains for gray water while traveling, saving the black clean out for when we are in a warm place or at our destination.
When we stay in NV, it gets pretty cold so we make sure all the water connections are heated.
Last year I had work to do in Boston-for all the snow (10 feet). Found one Park open. Had to use a front end loader to dig out the spot. They required each of us to use our water tanks to hold water. We could fill them when needed. Same exercise with sewer. Was interesting for sure. We even had to knock the snow off the top due to the weight of the snow.
Other than using a lot of propane off of a side tank, we kept pretty cozy and enjoyed the faux fireplace! (and the heat from it) By the way, supplemented the propane with a high efficiency electric. Yes the electric bill was high for the two months we were there, but worth it. Much better than any hotel, especially in a high cost area like Boston/NYC etc.
Just like any adventure, experiencing true winter camping, especially if your RV has the winter package (wouldn't get one without it-for hat summer as well as winter), can be a lot of fun and a great learning experience.
Safe travels.
