That wind definitely sucks out the heat.
The wind will make the engine cool faster but the minimum temp will be the same wind or not.

Yes, but with a stiff wind, my Espar barely held the heater to warm air today. I found a spot in behind a building to park the truck and the heater got it back up to 70C water temp. We are talking C up here. -40C=-40F, crossover..

It is and I was amazed myself. Left alone in the shelter it runs it up to 80C before shutting down to standby. I should have had one years ago.
