I recommend draining and blowing out the water lines as if winterizing and not using them during the trip. There is virtually no way to insulate all the lines and once pressurized, there will be water in places you can not protect. Carry water in water jugs and heat what you need on the stove. You should not raise or lower the TM with any accumulation of snow as it could cause a problem. We use a thing insulating pad under the mattress on the bed we sleep in as moisture from your warm bodies will penetrate the mattress and condense in the cooler bed shelf. This will eventually cause mold. We use 2 ceramic heaters to keep the chill off at night and cut down on the noise of the furnace. Recommend you run a heavy duty power cord through one of the flap seals to run one to prevent tripping TM breakers. Carry a snow rake or extension handle broom in case you get snow on the roof when set up as it will close down too hard if not removed. Check the tires before you leave as the pressure may have dropped , but I suggest you run them at recommended pressure, they will warm up.
