I know the displays on my boat are only rated for a storage temperature of -4.

Sunday temps are suppose to get down to -20. I'm gonna look and see if they sell a thermostat that goes down lower then 50. I think keeping at 35 would be ideal.
Seems to me your doing "much ado about nothing": Our Axis is our 4th camper and all of successfully survived Michigan winters without keeping them heated (UV exposure seems to be far worse on the units than cold temps).

All of the components should be rated at "automotive specs" which goes from -40C to 125C.
