You have a protected underbelly, and that is an R rating of 4. Also, most units after 2016, have two vents that allow your furnace heat to fill the tank cavities...and also, if you buy a ceramic-disc Micro Furnace, and have it sit on low, continuosly...in lew of running your propane..(assuming you have 120 at your site) it will heat the entire cabin and FLOOR, and that will radiate heat (the floor wooden substrate) to your tanks. In November, you are good to go...for it will only be perhaps less than 10 hours per day, that you (might) see sub freezing temperatures...and even if you do...just add 1/2 gallon R.V. antifreeze to both your Black and Grey tanks...and you will truly not have any issues with your two tanks, (as long as they are not opened valves all the time). As for your water pump, which usually sits below your bed support. If that worries you..merely run once per two hours, both hot and cold for 30 seconds...and that will absolutely prevent water crystallization in those areas of your water lines. Of course, in the cabin, you will have 68 F (I assume) heat, and all the lines resident in your cabin, will be safe 24 hours per day. Good to go....
