Mary,
My son has a 35' 5th.whl. on his lot in Homer, Alaska. Several weeks ago he received a letter from the city of Homer to move his trailer out of the city limits. At least 200 others got the same letter. You may want to check into that before planning on a RV in Homer.
His 5th.whl. is two slides, about 12 yrs old and kind of used from 3 kids and two dogs. Not one I would want to live in for 5 yrs.
Homer does not get 5' of snow at one time. It gets 5' over the entire winter.
Their climate is relatively mild all winter. A lot of rain during the winter. Propane is expensive in Homer. approx. $5/gal. It works just fine there in the winter. Don't believe all of those tales from Florida folks.
I live 40 miles north of Homer on the ocean.
Good luck in your move to Alaska. You will like it after getting settled.
