Condensation is always an issue with winter camping.. keep a window ever so slightly cracked, and the FF vent the same, just a little bit. Like 1/32 of an inch is all it takes, to let the warm humid air find it's way out. 
At those temps, expect to go through propane at a serious clip, AND be prepared for a frozen regulator. Below 32F we found a medium sized space heater did OK (if you will have hookups), until about 15F at least, that was our lowest in the Pod.
I have often wondered about the sealants reaction to being moved about at such low temps while towing, but, so far, have not seen any issues. We normally make a trip south and back during the winter and sometimes tow in the teens for a day or two..

	Just curious. Plan on doing some cold weather camping in the next few months (likely negative temps). Besides the water system which I obviously will not be using, are there any other direct negative affects/issues of the camper or other systems that one should be aware of? jon
