The best winterised motorhomes have all the pipes and water tanks inside the van, usually within a double insulated floor. Some winter proof motorhomes use electrical heating elements, lagging and 'silver bubbles' to wrap and coat their vulnerable parts and use thermal insulation within walls, ceiling and floor.

That's quite a chunk of most motorhome's payloads, but generally you don't need to drive around with a full tank and it's not advisable to do so. Lugging around large amounts of water means you'll suffer from greater fuel consumption and the sloshing around in a tank without baffles can reduce driving stability.

All in all, it is much preferable to drink bottled water. If you really don't have any other water at hand than the water from the tank, make sure that you always let the water boil for at least three minutes. That's the only way to kill harmful bacteria.
