What's the lowest safe temperature?

I have a 2008 Eagle 299 RLS. It obviously has insulation under entire 30' camper. I believe this would make it a "4 seasons" camper. Pluming is contained along the wall inside the camper. Gray and Black and fresh tanks are inside bottom cover. Insulated.
But I've always wondered what the lowest "safe" temperature a camper like this (4 season) will handle? I drain water this time of year as a precaution . . . just always been curious about this.

Occupied or just sitting? We were out when temps dipped down to 13 with our 01 Designer class "C", but I had a heated water hose and didn't hook up the sewer hose until I had to dump.

If unoccupied I wouldn't push it below 32 for any extended period of time.

Agree with Grumpy. Depends if it's occupied or empty. Occupied and protected water source and lines, I'd say as long as you're comfortable. Empty on a lot, nothing under 32.

I have camped in minus 20 C/ 0 F in a single pane windows RV. FW tank usual needs a heat pad on its own, Grey/Black Tank have enough on a regulated heating duct. Underbelly insulation is a must for all season and skirting will help for temps below -15 C/ -7 or 8F.

Lots of shared techniques out there but it takes determination and work. We are heading into out 3rd winter in South Dakota. Last year, we had a 2 week stretch with wind chills at -20F. It was miserable outside but very comfortable inside... until I had to switch propane tanks. I think all propane tanks are programmed to run out at 0300, LOL.
