I boondocked here in Arizona for 7 years above 5,000', temperatures would drop below Zero at least twice a year. Here are a few things I learned.
For your personal comfort place a good sleeping bag (opened) on top of your mattress and then your fitted sheets and other coverings. Get an insulated pair of Carhardt coveralls, a good pair of Thinsulate gloves and insulated boots, these are for when the unexpected happens at the worst of times. Since you will be there for a few months get a couple of small electric heaters for the interior, we have one Broan, about $70.00, that works nicely and is very compact.
Have some good heavy throw blankets as there will be times when the heaters will not be enough. One trick we used was to put a 10" terra-cotta planter upside down over a burner on the stove, this will help in the coldest of times. Keep your feet warm, when they are cold the rest of you feels colder.
For the rig, put heat tape on your shore hose and use the foam insulation, not fiberglass, tape up all seams. If the basement is not heated, insulate all piping. Buy a Heat-Gun, it is safer to use than a propane torch, just in case. If your rig has 30 or 50 amp hook-ups you can purchase a connector at any hardware or RV supply store, they are easy to set up or you can have an electrician install it for you. Caulk around any exterior areas where you can see light shining through from the inside.
We use a product called Reflectix to insulate the windows, use self stick velcro so that you can remove it on warmer days and to let some of the outside world in. Keep your tires at the proper infllation and covered. Four screw type jack stands will keep your rig steady, place a piece of 2x6 under each one to protect your SIL's driveway.
I have never used one but from what I read a macerator pump should take care of your waste disposal problems. There should be a clean-out connection somewhere on the exterior of the house, this can be used to dump your tanks. Just be sure to dump the gray water last and the make sure the hose is well drained.
If you are handy you can put skirting around your 5vr this will help a lot when the wind blows.
Good luck,
Rusty
