Winter Camping

My wife and I are (HOPEFULLY!)picking up our new 2980RL in Orange County, CA this coming Monday. This will be our 4th trailer, but our first 5th wheel. Our first trip with it will be to Prescott, AZ for New Years. Other RVers we've talked to say that I shouldn't have to do much to the rig since we'll be keeping it warm enough to live in. Once we get into the colder area, should I set the heater for a minimum temperature while we're driving? Or maybe not, since it's only a 1 day trip from L.A. to Prescott and only the last 2-3 hours will be in possibly freezing temps? Is it safe to run the heater while driving?

One other question: How many of you got the double-paned windows? We didn't and we're beginning to wonder if that was a mistake. We don't intend to do a lot of cold weather camping, but will be doing some.
