Hi,
What communities do you expect to be in?
What you wish to do is possible--but much easier if there is a reliable source of electricity. There is a thread on winter camping in the full time forum.
pianotuna - None decided on yet, though I would like to be at or north of ~67-68 degrees latitude (the further north, the better). If there were some way to power an overland RV for an extended period in the arctic winter, I would locate as far north as possible without regard to available hookup. But, if this isn’t possible, I have to determine the furthest north location where I can hookup.
That said, I don’t plan on “glamping”. I will likely depend on food that requires minimal to no cooking, have arctic expedition gear (i.e. clothing, etc.) with me (for both emergencies and for short to medium-distance treks), take a minimal number of showers over the period, etc. In essence, my focus will be on conserving power and water unless I have a very reliable hookup.
