Freeze

Quick question!! Water tank for emergencies. We will be in the teens for more than 18 hours. Drain or fill my water storage tank? I fully expect to lose power so I won’t have my water well.

I don't know all the details of your rig and the weather that you're expecting, but I don't think 18 hours in the teens will freeze the large mass of water in your water tank, especially if you're staying in (and heating) your rig.

Just put a small heater in the wet bay. I'd be more concerned about the valve system than the tank.
