We have a Mercedes Autosleeper Gloucester which we bought in March.
It's going to have to spend the winter outdoors: does anyone have tips on minimising the effects of the weather? Is there a product we can apply that would help protect it from the worst of the weather?
We are unable to use a cover as it double up as a reflexology treatment room.

What do you do with a car in winter? Treat your MH the same way, is my advice.
I’d never put a cover on it but, being a motor vehicle, it will benefit from being kept in use to keep the mechanical bits moving. That doesn’t mean staying in it or using it on a daily basis but just doing a few miles every week or two.

A 'few miles' isn't enough IMHO ... you need to get the vehicle to full working temperature to clear condensation in sumps, rocker/cam covers & exhausts. Condensation in rocker/cam covers can produce what looks like & is often referred to as mayonnaise on the oil filler cap & is symptomatic of a car that nips to the shops around the corner once a week.
I'd connect a 'smart' battery charger such as a Ctek to the vehicle battery, assuming it's parked within reach of the mains, & leave it connected. Likewise the leisure battery, though that could be removed & brought inside.
