Im more worried in a fixed location of being able to ensure your batteries stay charged up while your not there. I am not sure how cold it gets where the OP is talking about or what kind of winter storms come through.. snow covering of the panels can stop the charging dead if they are low and it gets real cold you could dammage the batteries, where as if they are charged up fast you will be safe for a while. on a moble set up you can just plug it in at home when you get that snow storm (which I had to do last week.) so im not worried about the battery state running low and freezing the electralite when it gets cold. Unless the plan is to bring the batteries back and forth each trip..
Assuming the OP shuts off the electrical loads when he leaves, keeping the batteries up while he's gone is pretty much a non-issue. Even if the output is down by 90% due to overcast/snow cover, it should be fine.
He also has the option to tilt the panels which increases output and reduces snow cover, since it's not moving.
