Use good heat tapes or blue hoses with heat tape built in. Add or build steps to cover fold up steel RV steps so you wont fall on ice covered days. We use an oil filled electric heater to help keep warm. We also have a 500 gal. propane tank plumbed into the 5th wheel, using the 30 pound tanks will break you. Our home base has a fresh water well and septic as well as rural electric to draw from so no RV water tank to worry about, however the knife blade valves for emptying the galley, gray and black tanks have frozen and stuck a couple of times and we do have the unit skirted. A hair dryer fixes that issue very quickly. With all the heat tapes and electric heaters we now have the highest electric bill we have ever had but it's only for this one winter so we are not going to cry over that as we will winter in warmer areas until we get off the road and build our country home here. The people on this site are great and will help you a lot! Good luck and keep us all posted.
