You may want to check this out, it's a hybrid electric heater that is installed in conjunction with your existing propane furnace.

There is a YouTube video as well:

May be more than you want to spend but
like it will solve your problem.
Good luck!

I found 'self regulating heat tape'

None of the overheating or electrical dangers of standard stuff. It's 12v and can't get hot spots! Far better than tank heaters.Rick

It's been for 2 winters. My first cold camping (about 20F overnight) the water lines to my rear sink froze. Yes I have a heated underbelly and was running my furnace. I later discovered they went under a tank so the only insulation was the belly cover.
Water lines are small will freeze far faster than tanks unless the tank is nearly empty. If I was full time in Canada I would want both! I made many small insulation improvements while the belly was open for other reasons so I'm confident the furnace will prevent total freezing. The heat tape keeps the water flowing.Rick

Thanks Rick - I spend last week in Calgary at -20F and am glad I wasn't in my RV! I'm based in North Texas, so it's rare to have incredibly cold temps (2 years ago we got down to 1F though). I am reluctant to winterize if possible as the RV is on a piece of land I own and is really a getaway. I am going to look into using the heat tape you recommended this winter.
