we have lived 7 years full time in our winnebago class a. from 1999 to 2006. all kinds of weather. from 125 in las vegas on blacktop to billings montana at 20 below. it depends on how you and your coach are prepared. i found some 350 watt ceramic heaters for the basement, and an electric blanket for cold nights. we had water all the time. just fill it, and roll up the hose.
there is no way to really stay warm at 20 below without wearing a sweater inside the coach. even the cats were complaining. we didn't stay long in billings, or Cheyenne. after 10 days of dealer visits, we headed south to denver, and albuquerque.
i can tell you that it can be done, and with better heaters, and clothing available today, it could be fun. relatively so.

i work full time for hwh. and travel the lower 48 states, many times encountering extreme cold, blizzards, hailstorms, ice storms, and tornadoes. god has blessed us that we have never been in an accident, or injured in any weather events. we were just spectators, because i have learned when to go and when to stop. being prepared doesn't hurt either.
