Like nevadanick said, connecting water during the winter could be bad, and I know some campgrounds cut off water during some months. If you have access to water, then you could disconnect and drain the hose during the cold nights and fill up as needed during the day. Keep some antifreeze in the black tank or it's possible your black drain pipe and valve could freeze and break where it's exposed. This happened to me once while I was using it during a very cold snap.
It's also a good idea to insulate any drain tubes that hang down exposed. You can save on propane by using a small electric ceramic heater to provide the general heat, and then let the furnace come on when it's too cold for the ceramic heater alone. All that being said, I would think just about any TT will be as good as another as long as the bottom is enclosed with the tanks and pipes up inside. I would put a lot of thought into how usable the bathroom is, thinking long-term.
