I lived in my 38Ft Toyhauler in the Colorado springs area for 3 years.
As mentioned above it can be done and really is not that bad. I lived up in Woodland Park so it was a lot colder than the springs. I did that because there are not a lot of good reasonably priced RV Parks in the springs.
I had a wife two kids 2 and 3 years old at the start and 2 dogs. I still enjoyed myself and the family looks back on the experience with some fond memories.
I had a toyhauler with an open underbelly, which I would recommend over the heated and insulated ones. I added a tank heating pad onto the black tank and did some of my own insulation around that. I tried skirting and not skirting and to be honest did not notice a significant difference. I big propane tank is a big time and money saver so plan on that. PM me if you want more info.
