I can't help with the 5er vs TT debate since I own a motorhome. But, living in PA I can offer some winter weather advice. Remember, that you will need to keep the interior of the rig above freezing at all times to protect your water lines. Further, you will need to make sure that all external water lines/hookups don't freeze as well. Will you have electric hookup? If not, your heat source will be all propane and expensive. And, electric power for lights, appliances, will need to come from either a hookup or your generator. How often will you need to buy gas for the generator?
If you buy a full-time set up, and it doesn't work, you can easily set yourself back financially. Good luck.
Although my goal is to work towards the ability to live in an off-grid scenario, I will have access to electricity until I gain the knowledge and experience required. I've been reading other threads regarding preparations for winter and realize I have work to do to pull this off. As a newb, I don't know how much propane or gas I will need but I will certainly be able to supplement with electricity until I figure it out or modify my plan...which will most likely involve moving southward!
