Are you mostly concerned that the converter fan is running? That would be very normal running tank heaters.
Or are you concerned that the heat pads are not cycling off? With the outside of the tank in the 40s I would expect the heaters to be on.
Possibly check the amp draw to each pad with your clamp-on DC ammeter. I don't think larger wire is going to help unless you need more heat and this will only draw more power.
You really need utility power, run a generator 24/7, or plan to let the tanks freeze when camped in these conditions.
