Hey Bob,
I haven't done it yet since I don't need to face the Winter in the TT but I have plans for dealing with the waste tank. The best solution I could come up with is to build a frame around the tanks, install heating tape of choice (I plan to use gutter de-icing cable), and insulate the tank frame. The drain pipes will get a wrap of conventional pipe heating cable and a wrap of insulation. I already have a switched GFCI receptacle in an all-weather box mounted on the frame.
I figured that even if I choose to park without AC available, the AC heat cables will eventually thaw the slush out of the drains. I do have an inverter with solar so may be able to keep everything from becoming a giant ****sickle.
Good luck on your trip!
