I was getting ready to recommend some of the mods I did to my AF 1150 but bobndot beat me to posting my link.
A couple real easy and inexpensive things you could do is add another basement fan in the front and plug any skylight and AC holes in the roof. You'll need a fan to remove moisture so don't plug everything but a lot of heat is lost through all the roof holes.
With the mods I did I was able to use it last winter with my onboard water systems at -20 F and didn't have any freeze ups.

I always travelled in the winter with the heater set to low and the extra basement fans turned on. Here is a trip I did 2 winters ago to Grand Teton Park in February. About a 120 mile drive there and nothing froze but the cap to the sewer drain. Jackson Lake
