Winterization Obsolete?

One use my wife and I are considering to justify the purchase of a class A motorhome is so that we can travel together for her work trips. They are fairly regional - we're based in NJ and she goes up to Providence/Boston, as far west as St Louis, and down to NC. I'm probably going to be retired soon, and she wants to keep working for the benefits, but we don't like the travel as it separates us and all of the stress of the airports, train stations, hotels, taxis, etc.

The question is that we were in Hershey looking at rigs, and seeing options with names like Arctic Package, etc. This makes me wonder if an obstacle to our plan can be overcome - what to do with the RV in the cold winters when we aren't using it for a week or so. We live in an apartment so we'd have to store/park it somewhere nearby, which I expect would require power to keep it plugged in to support whatever systems would prevent it from freezing up, etc. Then what happens if there's a prolonged power outage?

Do these newer cold weather options or systems provide any solution to that problem?

Why not just dump the apartment and go full time? I know of a couple different people that went from an expense based travel reimbursement to a Per Diem reimbursement, and have used that to pay for the RV.
