I'd like to use Marco Polo in north Finland. There is usually about -33 temperature in Christmas dates. Could you say, please, how can I prepare my car for such low temperature using?

This is what I would have:

Aux diesel water heater to keep the motor warm enough to start.
Aux diesel air heater to keep you warm.
Winter tyres and a 4x4 wheel drive.
Insulation for the popup roof and for the windows.
Arctic sleeping bag.
Snow shovel, and a brush to keep the snow out.

Empty the water and waste water tank.
Engine antifreeze coolant.
The 907 butane gas bottle probably is difficult to use in those temperature conditions.

Our dealer in Sweden supported us with a 2012 type propane gas bottle. It also needed a new adapter.
The 907 type is not distributed in our country (and not in Finland and Norway as well).
Also the propane gas is not well suited for temperatures around minus 30. Inside the car it is hopefully warmer!
We always have an extra alcohol stove, just in case.

Explorer, could you give me your propane gas bottle link? Campingaz 907 is not popular in our country too. I must to drive 200 km from home to change the gas :(

A link to the AGA 2012 propane bottle:
https://shop.aga.se/shop/en/se-ig/propane-109/propane-109-ig-propane/gasol-2012-1502-108
I can try to locate the adapter make if you like.

I have found another type of propane bottle with the same fitting as the 907 bottle, but for my life I cannot find the maker.
I have just a link to a reseller in Sweden.
It is the ALUmini 2.7 Kg bottle on this page:

Found a german site with the ALUmini with a suitable adapter for the higher pressure in the propane bottles (the 2.0 Kg bottle has a smaller diameter and should fit better than the 2.7 Kg):
