I always wanted to use that heat coming out the side of the trailer to keep the battery bank warm (which makes for more AH) but I never got around to it. Don't stay camping long enough at a time in the winter to make it worth the bother.

If you were in one spot long enough to make the bother worthwhile, you could maybe move your battery bank to a better location and rig some sort of trunking to go by them.
An evil RV god figured out that when it is cold the furnace is on more AND the batteries don't have as many AH either. Double whammy.
