I take it you are talking about living in it full time with your remark of other than traditional homes. Your biggest expense after of course the cost of the rv, truck to pull it, insurance on both, will be your electricity/propane costs. Well and the cost to park it somewhere. You mentioned arctic fox so you must be up north...you will be spending some good money in the electricity/propane area to keep warm. If you can maybe head south in the winter and work and then back up north in the summer to work, it would be a better situation. Good luck
