I installed tank heaters on the forward black and grey tanks, and also added a warm air circulator that directs warm air directly on the dump valve, to avoid those issues. I just returned to the camper after being away for 3 days, with low temps around 5*F for 2 nights, and all was fine with the thermostat set at 53* while I was away.
