Trying to boondock with electric heaters sounds like a real uphill battle.
It's been my experience a frozen tank isn't that big of a deal, but rather the dump valves freezing. It's also been my experience heating the tanks alone doesn't keep the valves from freezing. I ended up wrapping mine with aluminum, heat trace, more aluminum and then gorilla tape to protect everything. Heat trace takes minimal wattage when run off my inverter.
