Winter camping with the Atwood XT water heater

Wondering if others have done this. When winter camping in below freezing temps we will need to keep the water heater on during the winter months to prevent freezing. Problem is the gas side pumps...

Having been full time for 5 years in temperatures as low as -37 c (-34 f) I know of no person who has "winterized" their water heater.

If you wish to do something and won't be using propane to heat, then some tape on the "grills" placed on the inside of the cover would help. I would stay away from blocking the flue.
