Default Frozen pipes

Last weekend it was nice, so we took the RV out. We hadn't gotten around to driaining the pipes before they froze. Is there some way to get them to unfreeze so I can add the antifreeze before something gets ruined?

If you can find a the frozen spot, and access it, a hair dryer will work well. Something like a propane torch would be too much, and would cause more damage. You do not want to heat it up too quickly or to hot, you can burst the pipe. Another idea is if you can get it into a warm storage.
