When the units come off the assembly line and are sitting on the lots to be sold they are not heated but they are winterized. To me winterized means all lines with water in them are cleared of water and normally replaced with antifreeze. The sink and shower traps are filled with antifreeze and each holding tank has antifreeze in them. The fresh water tank and hot water heater drained. When we winterize, all foods items that could freeze or boxes that varmints can get into are removed. I stored mine near Rochester, NY for two years this way. We did use it in May each year while on R&R from overseas.

The bottom line. If you properly winterize then it will survive. If you add heat then it will survive and you can access when you want without freezing. As stated you paid the big bucks for it, it is your baby, do what you are comfortable with and enjoy.
