Cold weather should be avoided if possible. Hard to drive in the snow, really hard to chain up and uses a LOT if fuel keeping the coach warm.
As mentioned Newmars are pretty good choices for cold weather. We have one and it is pretty comfortable.
Do not understand the wheelbase concern. You should look for a floor plan that works for your lifestyle, the electronic package that fits that as well. I would not go WITHOUT a residential fridge. If the coach has one, it LIKELY has a decent inverter and adequate size battery bank. They do not use that much power. If boondocking, your generator would be on often enough for cooking that that battery bank would get recharged.
Your time limitation would be tanks, either fresh or black/gray water capacity. 6 to 10 days is not realistic unless you can dump and supplement fresh water. Sure you can go Rambo and all that and last a long time, me I like a shower every other day at the least.
Floorplan first, then a solid manufacturer, then a model tear. By floorplan, I don't mean EXACT dimensions. Some people like a front kitchen, some don't. Some like the TV in the "living room" as opposed to over the dashboard. Do you need desk space? I assume do if you work from home. You might have to tale out a couch or chair to make that work. Does the floorplan still work for you with those kinds of modifications.
Forget the wheelbase, they are all very close to each other in reality as they are all built on the same "bases" no mater who the manufacturer is. (I know, some build their own)
