Many people in my company stay in a trailer and they have told me artic fox is the way to go. The company doesn't have a problem with us towing trailers. I'm aware of all winter problems I work outside sun up to sun down I already deal with them every day.

Finding a campground up here is easy they are expensive by still 75% cheaper than hotels. I already found one in a great location for me. Electric is paid so I'll run an electric heater to save propane.

I know this won't be easy, nothing up here is.

Campground might be 75% "cheaper" than a hotel BUT, once you factor in the COST TO BUY A TRAILER, plus gas to HAUL the trailer, plus REPAIRS and MAINTENANCE of the trailer, plus propane (you will need that for taking baths and cooking along with furnace), plus bedding, towels, laundry your "savings" WILL BE OUT THE WINDOW..

Unlike a hotel, you WILL be fighting freezing water lines, frozen black tank and grey tank.. You WILL be very limited on your baths for hot water.. You will need to come up with some skirting that can be easily setup and taken down to keep the cold winds from chilling the floor..

Towing, setting up and tear down in bitter cold is not going to be fun at all..

Yeah, that sure sounds fun and heck you now have much more labor involved when something goes wrong..

With Hotels you get working heat, working toilets, unlimited hot water (bet that would feel real good after working out in the freezing cold all day), your bedding and towels are unlimited..

Just because "can" do it does not mean that it is going to save you any money..

If you "job" is not paying enough to cover the "expense" of your hotel room then perhaps it is time to seek out better employment.. I don't understand why folks put up with that, especially when you are not tied down to a sticks and bricks home..

After paying the rv park spot id save 2k a month. That's if I don't split the cost with my co worker. I'm working this job so I can save money so when I do start a family in the future money won't have to be an issue, and I'll be in a more stable point in my career.
