If you have lived in that area very long you know in any given year you may not see the temps drop much or any below freezing thru the hunting season. Or it may drop into the low teens or even single digits. I have hunted near Fredericksburg as low as 12 degrees in December. But nothing near that in a number of years.
Skirting is a good idea with one or more light bulbs under the trailer if you have electric. If you would like to have full use of the facilities (sink, shower, toilet) and the forecast is for temps not to get lower than 30 degrees or so, carry water with you (in jugs or water bladder) and put into your fresh water tank and enjoy the convenience. And drain all water lines and water heater and blow out the lines with a portable compressor before you leave. Unless you are planning to return before a hard freeze is forecast. If a hard freeze is forecast for your time there, then only use water jugs to pour water down the toilet. And drain before you leave. Buried drums would work as small septic tank.
Or just use the woods to do your business. Been there, done that, but in my younger days.
