How Low Can They Go?
The Imagine 2800bh is on our short list to purchase, and I'm trying to figure out how capable the rig is. We're interested in taking our Florida-born kids up north to see snow once in awhile. Has anybody taken their Imagine into sub-freezing temperatures for a week or two? Do they do well, or are these really 3 season campers?

With enough propane, dehumidifier, heat tape and tank heaters you can live in just about anything anywhere.

I've never tried it but I would think some heat tape and a little insulation wrapped would keep the exterior valves from freezing in most conditions.
. Honestly I think the bigger issue would be propane, they would likely use a lot and they aren't likely to have a pocket 100lb tank handy. Those 30s will go fast in a lightly insulated unit. Over two weeks that is a lot of trips to fill propane.
Depends I guess on how much supplemental electric heat they have available.2019 Momentum 395

On our last trip before the end of the season the last 5 nights would drop below freezing. The only small issue we encountered was lots of condensation on the windows. I'd strongly suggest getting a small dehumidifier. Its best to use the furnace instead of supplemental electric heat to keep that underbelly heated.
If you don't plan on using water from the fresh tank then a heated water hose will also come in handy.
