If i drained my water at night could i get away with just putting a heater in the van for half hour in the morning for the odd pipe that may freeze??
Have a 100psi flojet pump so apparently it shoukd be fine when run dry..?

half hour in the morning is very unlikely to unfreeze everything in a van if it freezes solid which it does every winter. you may get away with it on the odd occassion.

If you have an RO in your van then draining will not help - the housings won't be at risk of splitting, but the membrane will still be wet and will freeze risking destroying it.

i read it as he ment just his pump, hoses and poles

if he has an onboard not only can it kill the membrane as you said, the pre filter housing would be just as much of a concern as they are full of water and one of the most common things to crack

Ive got a static r.o in the garage so its just the poles, reels and hose that connects them. Just wondered if maybe a way of doing it to save having a heater on all night but i'll just have to keep up with the forecast and put the heater in all night when needed

Get a heater with a thermostat or timer
Think about The money lost and time spent trying to thaw everything out in the morning against having a heater on for a few hours

If your RO and storage tank are ok in the garage, why not put the above in there at night as well?

If your worried about the pump, a good blow through to clear the water will stop the hoses and pump from freezing up.

Sorry meant to say pump aswell.
The reels and poles i'll put in the garage, but the pump abd controller are on the tank cage. Think i may take them off and put them on a board though?? Then coukd pretty much move it all in.
Either that or get a timer switch like marko suggested

if you work hard as some then the heat you build up though the day will stop it freezing
