Montana's and High Countries are suppose to be rated to zero degrees and we've used ours in temps well below freezing and had no issues. BUT! in order to be successful, the furnace MUST be running and once temps get below 30 (ish) the furnace will burn through a lot of propane.
The furnace has to run in order to keep the underbelly of your camper heated. Actually about 45% of the heat leaving your furnace goes under the floor.
If temps get below freezing, you can expect to run through a 30 pound propane tank in about 2 to 3 days to keep the furnace going and temps up to prevent things from freezing under the floor.
BUT, if you are prepared to burn through some propane and keep on top of it, .... yes ... you can keep pipes from freezing to about zero.
BUT, if you have an ice maker in your refrigerator, that water line running outside, under a slide is not protected. That line will need to be shut off completely.
Also, the ends of your dump pipes can freeze up too. Tank heaters will not protect any pipes, or the ends of pipes outside the underbelly.
Your plan is doable and your Montana will handle those low temperatures with no issues at all .... provided the furnace keep running. I you are supplementing with electric heat, you run the risk of your furnace not keeping things under floor heated. That is the risk.
Good luck!
