Gary,

Unless you are planning on camping on mountain top or Libby has a very
unusual fall you shouldn't need to worry about your water tank freezing.
And if you are at a location where you have 120VAC to run your battery
charger then why not get a small electric heater for inside too?

Nice place Libby.  Gotta love the Cabinet Mountains and the Kootenia (sp?)
River.
