this is why

I see the point of this post..Not many have been in an RV at those temps,I have working..Stanley Idaho (R-54F) and McCall Idaho (R-34F)..It's tough on an RV,period..After many mods I/we found it just easier to winterize somewhere around 0 degree's F and use wood heat rather than the constant monitoring of propane bottles..I have two 25# bottles I used in parallel and they were constantly running out at the wrong time..LOL

As for batteries,I would never consider Lifepo4 in those temps,to many things can happen unexpectedly..The SIO2 seem to be the answer for those conditions..Again,those temps are extremely hard on an RV in so many ways..

I know people that live in rv's all year round in alberta. -45 and there warm as a bug but they have the big 200 gal propain tanks and they put bales around the outside with heating lamps under the unit and so on.

myself I have camped in -30 several times, not something I relish anymore but I would have no problems using LFP batteries but I am also willing to reloacate them into the heated space. propane wise it is what it is. you carry an extra couple tanks just incase you run out because you know your going through 20lbs a day roughtly depending on the size of the unit.
