My rv is not winter savvy - but back when mine was built, most often the valves were enclosed - so my valves weren't freezing when some with 4-season rigs were finding theirs frozen, even though the tanks weren't. Go figure. But I was careful when it was cold, did not dump. Wait for sunny days where the valves are nice and warmed up - even if the air temps are cold. Basic desert things - as while it can be beautiful during the day in the desert - you also have some cold nights - sometimes more than you expect.
Amen to that - we found that out last year on our Christmas trip out west! Mark didn't disconnect the hose one night, just turned the water off. We only made that mistake once - took most of the morning for the hose to thaw out enough to blow out the plug of ice. Need for that hose to drain out some.
