Curious how you anticipate doing this, and why. NYC has a tendency to get cold in the winter. I have a feeling that this winter will be colder than normal. Without constant power, your RV will be very cold. A very cold RV will suffer damage with pipes and black/gray tanks. It is very likely that it will not work.
It begs the question, why not either stay at Liberty Harbor or find another campground reasonably close and commute into the city?
The OP will be making alternate plans after one winter. Agree with Liberty RV Park being the closest - but it's $80ish a night - hardly an economical place to camp.
It's all relative. An apartment that close to Manhatten is likely a lot more than $80/night. They have a deal pay 6 nights get 7th free. So you are looking at around $2k/month. I'm not sure but wouldn't be surprised if they have monthly rate that would be lower in winter.
Probably cheaper to stay out 30-50 miles out and catch a train in.
This whole idea is about false economy.
$80 / night is $2,400 / month, and that's just the parking spot, add on propane and incidentals and I seriously dought you could do it for under $3,000 / month.
Just for giggles, let's say it's a 30' RV, that would be 240 sq. ft.
I'm pretty sure you could get an 'apartment' that size for under $3k / month, even in the better parts of NYC.
