Like Icehouse, we just went through a 10-day period of -20 to -30 degrees at night and sub-zero temps also during the day. We are skirted and have the waterline wrapped with heat tape. Never had a problem with the water freezing, although we did put a light in the convenience center after the water was a little slow coming to life one day. The refrigerator quit working after 3 days of those temperatures, but once the temperature started hitting 32+ during the day, the refrigerator started working again.

Several years ago, we lived for a year in our trailer on our land while we built our home (in Montana), and several times the temperature hit -45 to -50. We were skirted and had heat lamps under the rig. Because we didn't have an accessible well, we had to bring water in to fill the fresh water tank. I think the water in the trailer froze once or twice for less than 3 hours. (We did have to use Porta-Potties, which we had behind the rig, because obviously without a way to clean the black tank, we couldn't use it.)
