If you are not moving your rig once you get it in place, skirt it. If you do this you won't need tank heaters.
Bead/channel skirting by Cody James.
Best skirting I've seen.

Basically he Used awning C Chanel all around the rig and then sewed rope onto 18oz vinyl coated polyester material. The Skirting slides into the Chanel, he used outdoor Velcro on the vertical parts. He made it long to shed water away from his rig, and provides for anchoring it down with weights (helps keep mice out.).

You can find many examples of skirting by searching. Most people use 2" styrofoam.
I would put styrofoam in first, then use the vinyl skirting.
Don't forget to put a couple of light bulbs under there for heat.
For insulating your windows, get heavy duty clear vinyl. Tape it over the windows on the outside. Use metal foil tape. When you remove it, it comes off and does not leave residue. You need to do this before it gets too cold. Make sure the surface is clean.
Do the same on the inside of the windows. On the inside use yellow Frog painters tape. Again it does not leave a residue.
By doing this you will create two air gaps (insulation) over your windows and prevent condensation. This will also allow sunlight in to help warm you.
