I've not been in super cold weather yet with my own Bigfoot, probably in the 30s is the coldest yet. For those with Bigfoots in extreme cold, are you doing anything in particular to protect your batteries? On my 10.6E model the battery compartment is exterior with no insulation and no hot-air circulation from the interior. Basically, it's sitting outside.
In my own setup I added two 6v AGM batteries saddlebag style in the front bed of the truck and connected in series to to the camper with heavy wiring. I don't anticipate attempting cold weather unless it is forced on me but I think I may want to come up with some thermal insulation wrap or something for the batteries as a backup.
