I am looking for ways to power an RV for several weeks/months during the winter in the northern half of the Northwest Territories or Yukon. Assuming the RV is parked most of this period, most of the power will be needed for heating, LED lights, and infrequent bathing. Note the RV will have only one person.
Does anyone know of any places on or off-road that provide a hookup during the November-March period?
If none are available, are there any alternative sources of power that could be used?
Given the number of hours of darkness, solar power might be of little use, so the only other options I know of are either wind energy or very large fuel tanks.
I've read wind turbines, such as the Airdolphin Wind Turbine Mark Zero 24V, might work, though I don't know how well, how durable they are, etc.
I haven't encountered any information about very large auxiliary fuel tanks or fuel trailers, though I thought this could be an option, at least in theory.
I wouldnt atempt living up North in RV unless it was purpose built for the severe conditions
Rusian Burlak comes to mind

There are plenty of others,just look up expedition camper winter.
I believe this wind turbine is the most eficient and reliable one tested all over the world including Antarctica
