Leisure battery is relocated under the internal seat, pipes and floor lagged. We are ok now down to about -15. To survive properly you really need the water tanks and pipes in a double skinned floor. This is what we are hoping to buy soon Happy skiing
You cant beat being outside with a hairdryer thawing out your pipes its what makes the holiday.
I leave my waste undone in to a bucket, lag all teh external pipes with some Been and Qued lagging, Drop some hot water down the pipes in the am and pm. The most important thing is that you have an internal freshwater tank. You can always use bowls if your external pipes freeze.

Cant wait to get back again next year. Perhaps we should organise a meet.
