Preparing for the freeze

How do you keep the holding tanks from freezing while still using them?

I use www.ultraheat.com pads for when we visit the snow. As said above the real worry is when the high for the day is not much above freezing. You may need to dump and fill your tanks late in the day if there is some freezing.

Are the heated water hoses enough to prevent a busted city water connection?

The heated connection hoses have a rating that should be fine. Or you can haul out your unheated hose to use all day and stow it overnight. Might be a PITN if you need water filled every day.

Is it better to use space heaters or the propane/electric installed ducted heat system.

We use one 1200w space heater continuous and supplement with the propane furnace. You will use a lot of propane. Consider two extra bottles to get filled and swap as needed. Sure if you can rent a large tank and have it filled on-site that would be great.

Do i need to install some kind of wind block around the bottom of the 5ver?

This will help. Maybe some straw bales.
