I use my camp in the winter somewhat this way except besides the submersible pump, I attach the pump to a heated water hose which keeps it from freezing. The submersible has no problem pumping up hill. I use the submersible to fill a 20 gallon plastic holding tank kept outdoors. I use a small submersible bucket heater to keep the water in the tank from freezing. I can then use a portable on demand propane water heater (Zodi) which works excellent in my outdoor shower. Stays nice and steamy even when very cold outside.
