I can easily survive those temps with my unit and it isn't a 4-seasons camper by any means. Also did colder temps than that before in a 1969 Franklin while boondocking for four days. So I don't think you are asking too much from your camper.
A couple things to check that will probably make things better.
1) Make sure you either have double pane windows, use foam board in the windows, or make you own second pane. It is amazing the difference a second pane makes.
2) Make sure none of the water lines touch the outside walls. The direct contact transmits tremendous amounts more cold. Even a 1/4" separation is sufficient.
3) Seal up anything that creates a draft you can feel. Just feeling the cold isn't enough to worry about.
4)Make sure you basement duct isn't collapsed of pinched. I've seen this on a number of units. Odds are this was your main problem.
5)Add carpet to the floor. If you can afford it, add padding as well. Adds insulation and comfort.
6)Leave the camper on the truck. Amazing how much wind and insulation the bed creates.
