Congrats on your new to you acquisition.

I've been in our TM in as cold as 0° F temperatures. In this one particular instance the prevailing wind came from the street side exposing all pipes freezing the grey, black and the interior lines from the fresh water tank to the faucets. We opened the under sink doors placed a ceramic heater in the area under the dinette bench (where the freshwater tank is located) and thawed the supply lines.

The black/grey valve was still frozen so we could not use the water. In hindsight, we should have opened the valve and allowed water to drip. I also had to seal the refrigerator vent to keep the howling wind from blowing in.

In spite of the above it's better than a pop up.
