You mentioned your friend would be living in Texas for 12-18 months! Do you know what part of Texas? If it is in northern Texas, skirting and extra insulation would be needed along with what dieselguy has stated. If he will be staying in one spot for that time period, he can always contact a local propane company down there and rent or purchase a larger propane tank to hook up instead of using the 30lb bottles also. A Jim(NCFishers) stated there have been members of MOC who have lived in their Montana in Alaska all year long. They insulated and skirted their units so the colder air did not get to the bottom of the unit as easily and maybe some will jump in here and make comments about their experiences.
If he will be in southern Texas, he shouldn't have any problems at all. We have many MOC members heading South for the winter(Snowbirds) and do not need extra insulation to stay warm. I would recommend if he is going to be down in the southern part in the summer to make sure he has the dual A/C's in his unit because it will get warm and one A/C will not keep up to keep the unit cool. It can get cool/cold in the southern part of Texas in the winter also but it does not last as long as the northern part of Texas. Northern part is known for their snows and winds during the winter.
