I never spent a whole winter there, but I can tell you what I've learnt about snow birding in less then ideal temps. First off freezing temps are a big nothing. So many on this forum make it sound like it's the 800lb gorilla in the room. In all reality all you do is fill up your water tank and disconnect your hose and turn up the heat. No big deal!
What is a big deal is the amount of time you spend inside a small RV vs outside enjoying your winter. If it takes till 11am to feel good outside, and then it gets chilly at 5pm you're spending a lot of time inside an RV. If you have a S&B in those temps then it's no big deal, but living in 350 sq feet for 18 out of 24 hours, day after day, gets old in a hurry.
Most snowbirds like to get out and enjoy new things, not sit in front of the TV watching the travel channel, or reading travel blogs in an RV.
