In Montana, I follow the same process as mcarter and jato do, BUT last year I froze the small trap, with the brass screen, just off the water pump (little plastic bowl on the intake side).  I guess because I did not run the pump after draining the fresh water tank.  The pump can be run wet or dry.

Two years ago I forgot to blow out the outside shower, and that now needs to be replaced. Don't forget the A/F in the traps and toilet.  I think toilet just to keep the seal wet.

Also, a small amount of water left in the tanks after you are finished, won't hurt anything.

Since we get into some pretty low temps where I store my pod, I drain my system of water completely and then run plumbing antifreeze through the lines and drain traps.  just don't forget to drain and then bypass the water heater... valves are in the trailer access near the water heater

I always use the antifreeze, just an extra measure of security for me.... And about 10 minutes of work....
