Add Moving Sue and PhotoMike to that shortlist. I believe they did it with no shore power as well.
That'll separate out the men from the boys -> drycamping for a few days in single/low-double digit nighttime temperatures.
That's gotta take huge battery banks, large propane tanks, and a good generator system. I'd like to read some detailed write-ups on how folks do this "real RV'ing".
Cutting the cord is what camping is supposed to be. I guess some hunters get pretty good at this kind of camping ... though tents don't count in RV forums.
You make it sound like an Antarctic expedition... it surely is not.
Common sense and a little prep work is all that's needed, you don't need huge propane tanks or a military grade generator system. You do need enough fuel to sustain the burn rate your comfort requires.
Keeping person and equipment warm takes energy, and energy costs money. Winter RV'ing is not a frugal endeavour although I'm sure many will disagree.
Well ... I'll bet it's way less than an Antarctic expedition the bigger the RV is.
A big RV allows one to carry a lot of stuff to fight the cold. A small RV is where the challenge probably is greatest.
We're not afraid of generators so we carry along a couple. We can heat everything with the propane furnace and tank heaters or in an emergency, heat just us with either generator or the cab heater via idling the V10.
