If you are interested in the AR-One from StarCraft, look at the Extreme models. They have a little more insulation but still have the windows. I have cut out Styrofoam to fit in all the windows, plus in the overhead vents (with a hole in the center for ventilation) and have done pretty well down into single digits. Even with that, the furnace will still use a fair amount of propane.
I don't use the tanks, toilet or shower at those temps, though. The water lines are all inside the trailer but my tanks are all below the floor, though the underside is sealed. You could always put tank heaters on the tanks but you'll use a lot of battery power keeping those tanks heater and running the furnace without an electrical hook up. Now you need to worry about keeping the battery topped off.
