I started out in an Af 860 which used a lot more propane than my Lance.
I dry camped because the -20 temps were too cold to have water in the tc.
I made two layer solid foam covers for the windows. I used shrink wrap for the window.

The entrance door was covered with a HD drape on a rod, that helped a lot .
keeping the slide closed at night also helped keep it warmer.
One thing about my AF slide was that it leaked a lot of cold air from under the slide where it touched the floor. I had to stuff a blanket at the bottom of the slide to stop the cold from entering.
Snow accumulated on top of the slide, it has to be cleared in order to close it . Ice formed on it so it was a chore.

I also used larger gas tanks because I would ride for 20-30 days at a time.
