We seem to be in the minority, here, by preferring a North/South orientation to minimize the added cooling effect of wind, especially when dealing with temps below Zero F.
During our stays in N. Minnesota, this orientation both reduced the rocking due to moderate [30 MPH] winds and let us be comfortable with -25F temperatures. [Wind Chill Factor was -60F.]
One lesson learned the hard way: be sure to insulate the compartment opening that gives access to the dump valves lest they freeze shut.
A styrofoam "faucet protector", covering the junction of the water lines, will help considerably in keeping the lines clear.
Anything that can be used as a windbreak [even snow] will help to keep the underbelly (and floors) warm.
