There are some pretty inexpensive 12v tank heaters on ebay . If you have decent charge from truck you can turn them on while driving around and at campground while plugged in .
Bring a hair dryer to thaw out waste valves and connections if needed
As mentioned , an electric space heater .
A few gallons of RV antifreeze in case things get really nasty . The temps you mention are very doable but that time of year it could also be -20F .
Most campers you can run furnace while driving . If you can turn it on an hour before you return to camp , it will be a lot more comfortable when you arrive . The furnace will heat the air fairly quickly but all the surfaces will stay cold for some time without a head start .
Have a plan B
Enjoy the adventure
