Man, that sounds like a heavy trip, Pee Jay!
We are back home now. The caravan's back in safe storage. We encountered heavy freezing fog on the M62 eastbound, near Selby and it was bad from there to storage and then home. I could not believe the amount of totally stupid d***heads driving along, at speed, in lane 3 of the motorway, with NO headlights on! And, as every other car is grey these days, these cretins don not realise that they are effectively invisible from 20 metres away in the atrocious conditions. When these vermin eventually (cause a) crash - and they definitely will, they'll blame the weather, or the road, anything but themselves. Plus, why do morons just switch their sidelights on in dense, freezing fog? Do they think this 'token gesture' counts? I speak as an IAM Member and know a number of Police Class 1 Advanced Instructors who say this type of driving is extremely frustrating for them as the penalties are paltry. The idiots should have their cars crushed, (preferably whilst they are still inside the vehicle...). But, on the positive side, the van held up well and the only thing that froze was the drain pipe from the (end kitchen) sink. Not sure how to get around that one! It's on the underside of the 'van? any ideas?

Pour some hot water down the sink???
I share your frustration with the idiots who believe headlights are only meant for them to see, whereas in reality, more often headlights are for them to BE SEEN.
I can't believe all the idiots happy to drive round with a roof full of snow! Not only are they wasting fuel with extra weight & drag, they are causing a hazard to other road users & pedestrians & breaking the law!
But you're right. The moment something bad happens to these ignorant, selfish morons they will be quick to blame the weather, the roads & the old favourite; lack of grit/salt!
Makes me sick too. (I even switch my lights on in the daylight if the sun is behind me, as to me this makes sense).

Ive winter vanned a few times, Never had the aquaroll actually freeze, kept on some wood blocks, with a jacket on, I bring the pump in at night, as I have had the pipe freeze up, even with insulation on it.
as for the drains, I use a bit of neat screen wash (the concentrated stuff) down the sink last thing at night. I have heard people using antifreeze, but dont know how that would affect plastics, and screenwash is cheaper. the most I have had from this, is when it was REALLY cold it slushed a bit, but a kettle ful of water flushed it through.
