Has anyone lived in a cold climate doing so?
For me this is a temporary (year or 3) living situation and I think I would quite enjoy it versus trying to survive it.
Thanks for any insight!
We live seasonally (about 4.5 continuous months) in our 32' Class C with 2 slides and a bunk house. We are a family of 4. I think your main problem will be finding a place in MA that can offer full hookups all year round. Fresh water wouldn't be a problem, but waste water needs to be disposed of safely.
We have camped in below freezing temps (mid to upper 20s) for short periods of time. During that time without electric heaters to supplement, we burn through our 56lb propane tank in less than a week at those temperatures. I'm always a little unsettled about leaving any heater on during the day while we are away. I would certainly not leave a wood burning stove going inside the camper.
As has been mentioned, PEX is a much better choice for cold weather. PEX can freeze without cracking, however, your fittings will crack if they freeze.
