As for the valves, a combination of elbow heaters and trace tape took care of that issue.

I have hundeds of pictures of our winter camping setup and can easily fill in the blanks if need be. I see I have some doubters here.

Here are a few pictures (I have to dig to find the temperature reading photos less than minus 15). Oh the readings are in celcius
Well than your first post is quite misleading because you said your tanks were exposed and you mentioned nothing about heaters.
