From the outside looking in, living in a RV seems simple, fun, and cheap. The reality is it most often is none of that. RV's are often very complicated with many different systems that require a lot of knowledge to maintain. To compound this, too many RV's are manufactured poorly with cheap components thus requiring more maintenance. Also, many of the "technicians" at RV dealers are inept. Rving can be fun, but it is also work with a substantial learning curve. Attempting to live in one full time in extreme climates is fool hearty at best. To own and maintain a RV correctly, you either need to be real handy with tools and fixing things, or real handy with your check book.
