If you are staying in the caravan you will be having the heating on a thermostat I imagine. This will protect the water tank/heater from frost. I personally do not like to leave the water heater on all the time.

it only takes 5 minutes to drain down and will save hours of heartache.at 8 to 1 expansion the damage it can do.remember a new water heater cost £600 plus fitting.as wizard says the header tank too.
