Living in the north is doable for RVers. Have any of you seen the recent article or pictures of an INDOOR RV park for workers up there? It's a neat concept. Granted, I've only heard about one such place... but...there definitely ARE workers who live in the north as RVers and the parks stay open just for them. They do have to make a lot of changes to their RVs as to insulating, propane costs, dumping issues but it can be done - not easily and I would say, not comfortably. I would also recommend a travel trailer so you have a good truck for winter driving and you can also put your cycle in the bed. Good luck!
