I have google'd this topic of course, and I have found that an RV can indeed be used in winter - with special considerations. But my question is a little bit more specific. Would I be able to ...

The one draw back of all this is moisture, especially if you are using something like the master heater in the photo posted above. And even if you are just using the TT's furnace, you, the furnace, the stove (if you are cooking) and all the people will be dumping a LOT of moisture into your travel trailer. Then, you will be shutting off the furnace, closing up the trailer and leaving for an extended period of time. All of that moisture will be trapped in the trailer. I'm not sure that even a dehumidifier will be able to keep up for the short period of time (less than 8 hours) that you will be there. So your trailer will be sitting with all that moisture, much of it freezing to walls, cabinets and everything else as soon as you leave and turn off the heat. Then when temps get above freezing, the frozen stuff melts and gets everything wet again. This may happen many times as the spring progresses.
Just something to think about.
So what I'm hearing here, is that a dehumidifier is a must. That's fine as I have a few 70 pints. I have one I use all summer at home, so I can just use that at the travel trailer in winter. Hopefully it can make a difference, because moisture would obviously damage things eventually.
