Antifreeze  ;D

I use two duvet's and an oil fired rad. Warmer than my house.

Which tog duvet do you have?
Your oil rad, do you have it on a timer plugged into an extension over night?

Vans are parked inside  ;D

Oil fired rad was always adequate to stop freezing ( left on overnight just above the frost protection setting.

Or install an immersion element, that will stop freezing and give you warm water the next day

I've put thermal insulation board round mine, the 1" thick stuff. While tank was empty I put cut piece underneath and then on every other side and the top. Easy to cut round tank filler and also fitted immersion. It's a decent set up for a decent price.
