Pour some plumbers anti-freeze down the sink or the
sink trap will crack with the freezing and same for
the water pump and lines, or just blow throu the lines
to get the water out of the lines and pump.

Make sure that there is ventalation in the van in
winter or you will get mold and mildew on the ceiling.
 I leave the pop-top up a bit and the skylight open
and the side windows open a crack.  (My van in under a
car-port).

Also check the archives for previous discussions on
this .  M
