I've heard to keep the on the go water softener out of the sun such as in summer time, easy enough, it typically can hide under a slide. But here in sunny warm frigid Arizaska with temps in the low to mid 20's at night, storing the tank is something to consider. I don't keep my sewer or water lines connected at night, I connect them only to dump and fill up then stow in temps going below freezing at night. In my Newmar Ventana without a side radiator I have bonus storage on the aft left side. The problem is those bays have no heat source so sure enough I think my tank and contents froze.
First tip, drain the water out when done.
Second, I decided to store the tank in the main basement area which will get heat from the inverter, OASIS unit with the diesel burner frequently in use, and the wet bay furnace heater.
In cold weather ops keep these things in mind.
