OK, so here I sit, smug in the Sunshine State, Temp at the moment is 64 Deg. That will plummet this afternoon and Monday night early Tuesday morning we will have a hard freeze for about 6 hours, temperatures in the mid to upper 20's. My unit is under roof in storage without any electric. I bring my Honda 2000 when I want to open it up and work on it. The holding tanks are empty, but I have about 10-12 gals. of fresh water on board for clean ups etc.

So, I am hesitant to winterize for an unusual event. I have lived here 30 years and cold like this is a rare occurrence. I am thinking of opening the slides and cranking the heat for a few hours, then turning the heat off and closing it up till the next morning. I can't stay plugged in to the generator overnight. Wonder if the arctic package is enough to retain some of the heat and keep from breaking any pipes.
