A small inverter would handle the load from a light bulb. I travel with my inverter on for heating reasons in the winter time. I do have a thermostat to reduce the run time for the devices I use for freeze protection.

I agree with all those who say to keep the rig winterized and use jug water for drinking and antifreeze for flushing. Each rig handles cold weather differently. Your pump may be OK at night with a bulb heating it, but the pump might freeze during the day due to air leaks in your compartment and the bulb not being on. If you want to try dewinterizing, then I suggest you get a battery operated thermometer with a sending unit that will be mounted on the pump and a receiver on the dash. Get one that registers the high and low for the day. They cost about $15.
