Have you ever seen on television the program called ICE TRUCKERS? Now you know that those truckers do not use gasoline engines on those big rigs hauling equipment way up into the coldest parts of Alaska. They are all diesel my friend. So if you like a gasoline motorhome, that is fine with me. But lets keep the posting believable. Diesel engines have always operated in the coldest parts of the world. Sometimes you have to add additives to the diesel fuel, but that is having knowledge as to what to do in those cold places.
That's funny you mention that show and about diesels in cold weather, they had a episode where a truck was not left running and it would not start because the driver forgot and shut it off..
Diesels are good for heavy loads and have lots of torque but don't shut them off in very cold weather or you will be walking.
Your talking about temps in the -50* that would be some nice camping.
