I think everything Tuna's done so far is going to help. Biggest omission AFAICT is the skirt. The Dakota oil patch guys swear by them, and once I tried it I was a believer.
Buy a $20 heavy duty tarp from Walmart and cut it lengthwise. Align the two halves end-to-end and use some 3m spray glue on an overlap. Run some light rope through the grommets (which are now all on the same side), and you have a cheap-and-cheerful skirt. I'm thinking you'll want one long enough to run around all four wheels. On my TT I skirt along the back bunmper up to the wheels and leave the rest of the TT exposed. The benefit is that I have a very small enclosed areas centered around my (exposed) tanks. Once skirted, a single 100-watt bulb warms those tanks right up.
The carpet heater is going to help, just like an electric blanket will help. I'm still scratching my head as to why the heaters are in "out of the way" locations--aren't those the last places you want to heat?
Bottom line, -30 temps must be respected, and any camper who contends with those conditions deserves respect also.
