Use an old incandescent light bulb to generate enough heat to keep your compartments from freezing in the winter. LED light bulbs are much more efficient and don't generate enough heat.

More Winter RV Tips:

TIP 1: USE A LARGER LIGHT BULB INSIDE YOUR RV
For more heat, use a full-sized 40W - 60W light bulb plugged into a cord like this amzn.to/3vnJv67 Just plug it in and hang the bulb inside the compartment you want to heat (maybe where the water pump is).

TIP 2: USE A SPACE HEATER
You can also use a small space heater inside your RV. Turn the thermostat on low and open the cabinet doors under the sinks where your plumbing is.

TIP 3: POUR RV ANTI FREEZE INSIDE YOUR WASTE TANKS
Pour RV antifreeze inside your empty grey and black tanks. This will settle in the low part of the tank around the valves to prevent ice from forming around them.
