There are a few things to consider: the ADAC gives tips on this:

Winter camping requires special care so that caravans and motorhomes can survive the harsh conditions in the snow unscathed. The ADAC has put together the most important tips so that nothing goes wrong:
M S tires are ideal for towing vehicles and trailers or mobile homes. Check the tread depth, at least four, better five millimeters. Snow chains should also be taken with you.
Look for a snow and ice-free parking space in order to prevent the caravan or mobile home from tipping over in the event of thawing. Place boards of sufficient size under the drawbar wheel (caravan only) and the jacks so that they do not sink in when the weather thaws. Release the handbrake as soon as the camping vehicle is jacked up. So she doesn´t freeze. Plastic bags protect the handbrake lever and overrun device on the caravan against icing. A protective tarpaulin for the gas bottle crate is also useful.
Lay the power cables in such a way that they neither freeze to the ground, nor are they damaged by the snow plow, which keeps the paths clear during heavy snowfalls.
The awning for winter campers is almost a `` must ´. Not only to be safe from snow drifts, but also as a storage place for sports equipment and of course for drying clothes. Moisture in the camping vehicle is thus avoided.
Make sure that the ventilation openings do not close up. In addition, always leave the skylight ajar. This improves the air circulation.
If possible, do not discharge waste water into the tank. Instead, open the drain flap or valve and drain the water directly into a bucket. In this way, the wastewater can also be disposed of as an `` ice block ´.
Only operate the gas system with pure propane. Butane remains liquid at sub-zero temperatures and cannot be used. A two-bottle system with automatic changeover should be part of the basic equipment in winter so that the supply does not run out unexpectedly. Eleven kilograms of propane are only enough for two to three days.
If it snows very heavily, the roof of the mobile home, caravan and awning should be regularly cleared of snow. Wet snow in particular can quickly become a load that weighs tons. A few centimeters of powder snow, on the other hand, even provide better insulation.
