I think you will be fine.Just watch the road conditions and forecasts and if a big storm is coming through wait it out. I have been in Northern Alberta( Ft. Mcmurray) and drove my Dodge Cummins when it was -50 celcius. It was a long stretch between fuel stops but no problem. I always carried 2 5 gal jugs of winter diesel. just in case there was an accident or other road closure that I had to sit out. I always carried a set of chains just in case and never needed them.
The propane will be fine,it is usually the regulator that will freeze up.
We left Alberta to head south a few times with our truck and fiver and just left it winterized.We were coming home one time in our Motorhome and had not winterized it and the black tank and grey had stuff in them. Needless to say they were froze solid at the dump valves and I had to wait for a few weeks for them to thaw. The biggest thing there was no dump stations open.
I hauled logs in the north country in that kind of weather and you just have to be paying attention to what is going on and use common sense when you travel on snowy roads and cold temps.
Good luck and let us know the details.
