If you are going to do it, make sure you get a 4 season trailer with good insulation. So, look for a used Arctic Fox, Nash, Lance or other trailer rated for cold weather. You want double pane (thermal) windows. A heated water hose can help with keeping fresh water, but you can also rely on your water tank for nights where the temps drop below freezing.
Another option is to find a park model (used) that is either located in a park you would consider staying at, or pay to have it moved to a park that has a site available for you. Although many VA winters aren't too severe, if you are going to do this, plan on it being a cold blustery one with some stretches of very cold days as well as nights. But, with a good 4 season camper, you could have a great time. And with a 3 year old, you don't want the child to deal with a cold & drafty play area.
Good luck!
