Occasional Winter Camping??

I'm newer to truck camping so bear with me. I have a Palomino HS-8801, certainly not designed for winter camping but WHAT IF...I wanted to take it up to the ski resort for a night (or wherever). I'm assuming I'd keep it winterized and simply run the propane to stay warm for the night. Just bring my own fresh water...no toilet/plumbing/water use. Agree?

Also, probably a stupid question but you would only turn on the heater when you are with the unit, you wouldn't want to keep it on low during the day. I'm thinking it is not safe, or even if it was I'd suck the tank dry on a super cold day.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

so the first answer to this should have been "yes" I winter camp all the time with my 5th wheel and my camper and thats all I do. your camper has much better insulation than mine, and probably a ducted furnace. the website doesnt give you to much info about the options and the construction but with the water winterized and the furnace on its up to you how cold you can handle. take lots of blankets and have a good weekend.
