Temperature range for water tanks

I am about to take my new Scamp on its maiden voyage. I don't have to fill the water tank for where I will be going, but it would be more convenient to have water on board. I am in Minnesota, and we will likely have more nights below freezing. What is the temperature range that would be safe to start using the water tanks, without having to worry about freezing or winterizing? I don't have a bathroom, just the fresh and grey water tanks for the sink. Thanks!

Tanks - Temp

Basically, if it's below freezing the tanks can freeze. I've had the Scamps out in the 20's and kinda my rule of thumb is that if it is going back above freezing during the day it's usually ok. Going into the teens, I'd try to not use the tanks and leave them dry until I hit better weather.
