Be sure to drain the water heater, also. Perhaps one or more of the TM low point drains does this, but to be absolutely certain, remove the anode rod from the water heater (1-1/8" hex socket is required). Remove the anode rod and the water will drain completely. Store the anode rod or replace it with a new one if it has be used up, in the spring as you begin to prepare for your first trip. Remember, if your water heater is a dual heat (uses both electric and propane to heat the water), fill the WH with water before you plug the trailer into 110VAC or you will immediately fry the electric heating element.

Only step missing? Open the outdoor shower, unscrew the shower head from the hose, let the hose hang so it drains. Turn on the shower valves and leave them on. Shake the water out of the shower head, and store it inside the TM somewhere, so it will be ready for re-installation in the spring. As you remove the shower head, DON'T lose any of the little washers - there are a couple of them.
There have been a couple extensive threads on this topic - use the Search tool to find them.

One more, this one happend to me last winter...
If you have a spray nozzle at the kitchen sink take the head off and drain the hose. The hose had water in it and kept water in the head so when it froze, it broke the head.
