not a lot. not as much as if it had been 450 gallons.
Why not winterize it. Shut the water main, or pump, open the lines and drain them out as best as possible. empty the toilet tanks and put some RV winterizing fluid in the toilet bowl to keep smells out and fluid from freezing.

Wouldn't hurt to add a dollop of antifreeze in the sink, shower or tub drains. Might save a cracked trap.
I'd just set the temp at 50 and rely on the ability to generally heat. Putting stuff in the drains is a good idea.

Sounds reasonable. Propane hot water heater shut off when you are not in residence?
