Ok, I moved to Lancaster, Ca. in December from Gilbert, AZ.  We didn't have to winterize anything there.  Now, it has gotten down into the 20s a couple of times but mostly into the low 30s at night.  Should I have winterized it?  I don't have a shower or water heater, just a pump for the faucet.

 :yikes:

Chances are you're ok, when it gets into the 30's it'll take more than a few hours in those temps to do damage.  In the 20's things freeze faster, so thats a crap shoot. If the system was drained well you should be ok.
 
 
 We don't winterize till late October, early Nov here in MI where nights in the low 30's aren't uncommon and all has been fine.

To be safe you should winterize the water system or blow air through the system.  Is there any chance you can open the trailer up?

If i open it up i will make me want to camping worse than I already do.  But yes, i can open it up.

I would open it up and blow the lines out or run antifreeze through the water lines.  If there is a leak it will be easier to see the pink antifreeze then water.  Good luck.:)
