OP-
Here is what you can do in the short time before hunting:
1. Survey all the door/windows/openings for possible cold air leaks. Look at the path of the shore power cord to the controller, does the cord storage box have a big hole in it? Patch/renew/upgrade the insolation.
2. If boondocking, run the genset during every meal you eat at the TT even if you have solar. Keep those batts well above 12.0v.
3. Pour ½ gal winterizing fluid into both the black and gray tanks during setup. This will keep the dump pipes/valves from freezing.
4. Take an extra/spare propane tank. You will be burning a lot of it for heat.
I had a full vinyl skirt made that snapped to the bottom edge of the TT. It helped a lot. If you had the time.
