Permanent propane tank for RV home storage?
I’m going to put up a shed for my 28’ TT. We live in a mild climate and use the trailer even in winter but it does freeze sometimes at night. Is it feasible to put up a permanent propane tank on site,...

As has already been said. Most TTs with a sealed underbelly heat the tanks with the PROPANE furnace.
So using space heaters etc. instead will do very little to keep the plumbing from freezing.
As usual PT chimed in with how he does it. But if you go back in history and read his posts.... He has done a lot of mods to his RV, which is a class C (NOT a TT) to make it possible.
He is neglecting to tell you the whole story.
Before I made my extreme cold mods, my TT was good to 6-7 F.
That was with the heater running pretty much constantly. The tanks/plumbing only recieve furnace heat, when it is running. Now at temps in the twentys, the heater can run a lot less without freezeups. But I would not attempt to cut it close on the Tstat setting. Set it at 60 or so and be safe.
Keep it simple and effective. Use propane.
