Stick,

I wasn't able to escape the coldest days we had last year (what, 23*F a
night or two?). I did basically what you suggest: Drained everything I
could, including the hot water tank, with the built in valves (there should
be several on your coach, including the fresh water tank). Then in the
evenings before freezing weather I opened the cabinets around pipes and
turned on the heater at a low setting.

I've never bought any pink stuff nor had a busted pipe. The polycarbonate
pipe in our coaches is not as burst-prone as copper, and none of them run
overhead.
