Mary,
I live in AK... been here for over 30 years. I have built 3 homes. Traveled from Ketchikan to the North Slope for work and have experienced all the extreme weather and seasons AK can offer.
I own a very nice 2014 Cedar Creek 5th wheel that I keep in Oregon . I would never consider attempting to live in it in Homer or anywhere else in Alaska. The condensation problems alone would be a nightmare. RVs are not designed to withstand the climates of AK for extended annual stays.
Come to AK to build your cabin... but rent a home or apartment while you build and save the money you would have wasted on on an RV.
I think you have some good advice here. I lived up there for 3 years close to Anchorage. I would not even consider it after spending the cold part of winter in "South Carolina" last year.
