I just started this search. I've found recommendations on line about wintering in these smaller units by doing things like using a skirt and putting a ceramic heater underneath on an ext cord run from the podium.
No experience, but it sounds like a very good idea and probably the only way to prevent pipes from freezing ! I would rest the heater on a couple of bricks so that it is up off the ground. Make sure you have a good HD cord (12 gauge). I would not worry about fire.
If you really are paranoid about fire, rig up a sheet metal shield so that the heater is not directly pointing at anything. You could even temporarily put a smoke detector underneath when you are running this heater.

Something I noticed in the brochures I've seen so far is that the ones in this size range (~14'?) do not have a "full" fridge, I.E. no freezer and only have a two burner stove.
You are not likely going to find either of those in a small TT ! Good luck.
