We dry camped with our AF 1150 (WB) at Fort Casey state park (WA) this weekend. It was below freezing the whole time and the outside temperature got as low as 16 degrees Saturday night.
We didn't have any trouble with anything freezing up. One difference between what you did and we did is that we just used the furnace, there was no auxiliary heat. As others have noted I would worry a bit about using electric heat in that you are not putting as much warm air underneath. Another difference may be that our camper has double pane windows.
I would note that we used a bit of propane, maybe 20 lbs and the batteries were down to 50% by Saturday evening. We kept the camper at 72 degrees during the day and 64 or so at night. I didn't keep any cupboards open but was running the water heater.
As an aside it was a great camping experience. Only one other person in the campground, nice hikes in the park, and the cold, clear nights were beautiful for star watching. We had hoped to join you in Leavenworth but maybe next year if you do it again.
