Been there done that.
I was FT for 15 months, 2 winters in Alberta. Had to get really creative to make stuff flow.
Laying under the dump pipes with a heat gun got old really fast. And it takes a while. My dump pipes would freeze up all the time. Not sure why nothing broke but it didn't.
What I did was bought a radiant heater. I positioned it under the side of the TT pointing up at the end of the tanks and dump pipes and valves. I blocked it in position, not too close as I didn't want to melt anything, but close enough that the tanks would feel warm to the touch.
Then I would go about my life for 5 or 6-7 hours and come back to everything thawed. A quick trip to a dump station and all was well. When it was really cold I had to do the tanks too as they would partly freeze up.
Worked good for me. I did this in -34C. A tad chilly.
