I sold my Northwood Nash to a guy in Denver who planned to live in it. It was 24 ft. Pretty basic, a dinette, a kitchen, a bed and a nice size bath with a wardrobe. Enough for one guy. I don't know how cold it gets in northern Tennessee but surely not -29 like Bob's Your Uncle experienced and, not as cold as Denver. My Nash had storm windows which helped tremendously in cold weather. That stick on, shrink to fit with a hair dryer plastic would help. Skirt it with something, even hay bales and, I would say he would be fine.
I lived in a tent a couple of summers while in college and have lived in RVs three or four winters in Seattle and Colorado. It's not that hard. All he needs is a place to eat, a kitchen, a bed and a bathroom. There's a lot of information on here about winter camping.
A 30lb propane tank would last almost a week in New Mexico in the winter with temps in the 30s during the day and around zero at night. If it doesn't get colder than the teens at night and warmer during the day it should work. The better the TT he buys the lower the cost to heat it. He would be better of with an older, well built TT than a newer cheap one.
