And if you had shore power, you would probably want to use 120VAC to cut down on the current required.

+1 on TexMan’s mods. If you want to boondock in moderately cold weather in an rpod and want your fresh water system to work that is the way to go. The electric heaters use far too much energy. The recirculating system uses the propane water heater so carry an extra cylinder and you should be ok.

The gray and black tanks will still be subject to freezing so carry some RV antifreeze for that.

If you are expecting prolonged really cold weather, then keep it winterized. There are true 4 season trailers for that kind of use if you have the $$$.
