If you mean studio as in a fixed location, you might want to also look at travel trailers and fifth wheels. Often you can get more house for less money that way because you aren't also buying a truck/van chassis. Not all trailers are set up with any thought to cold weather use, though. (Not all motorhomes are either, of course, but I think it's more common for motorhomes than for trailers, particularly cheaper trailers.)
For used units, pay very careful attention to the maintenance, particularly upkeep of roof water sealing. Water damage will turn a good unit into a bad unit (or at least one requiring expensive and/or time consuming repairs) in a surprisingly short time.
Since all you're planning on using it for is storing yarn, look for a cabover that lacks a window, particularly a front window. These windows are common sources of leaks, and your yarn doesn't in any way need a good view (or even light).
