Swope7896, I think that my first question would be ....how cold is cold? Determine your coldest expected temperatures and act accordingly.

Will you have water in the system,? If temperatures are quite cool for extended periods of time, will you have power to circulate heat to the tank/tank valve/waterline, plumbing areas. Power for forced air circulation is a non-issue if you are in a campground. If boondocking, do you have adequate battery capacity to run forced air without running the generator on a near constant basis?

For cold weather camping, there are quite a few things to consider and evaluate! memtb

If you dont have already Id recomend instaling Espar diesel heater
Those things are very if not most efficient.
And small enough to fit even in vans and tc campers.

Turn on the heat, head for the cold, enjoy! Done.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?
