Well OK. :)
1- finding an rv space of any kind, and if they can,
You may want to check the laws regarding RV / Man camps ect. Before you head up there. The laws are much more restrictive then they were a year ago, as where you can park or where they can build a man camp. Housing costs is unreal if you are trying to buy a house/apartment. For the indoor RV camp there are restrictions that go with them also.
2- the challenge living in an rv through an ND winter
Yes you can survive winters in Western North Dakota they have been doing it for years. But you will have a very high heating price to pay if you can find room to park.
3. How the boom is affecting locals, good or bad.
• Extremely dangers roads!!
• High prices all items
• Overcrowded schools
• Overcrowded jails!
• Overwhelming infrastructure for city water. Sewer, fire, police, hospitals, mental health. food pantries, job service.
• Very poor roads,
• And yes large amounts of contaminated water or NO water, ground & air pollution.
4 encourage experiences from those boomers living or have, in their rv in extreme winter.
Frozen pipes, Heat tape fires, frozen shut exit doors & windows, high humidity, carbon, monoxide poisoning,
Furnace motor burn out because they are not designed to run 24 hr a day!
Yes as a firefighter I have seen all of this.
There are RV’s burning down in winter because of poor judgment on how to keep them warm.
Now if you are one of the lucky one that own the mineral rights where they are drilling you may be a MILLIONAIRE.
If you do not own the minerals them you have to put up with all the **.
Just be sure you know what you are getting into before you drive up there with or without your RV.
Also you may want to look into your taxes and your vehicle license plates as for the length of time you are working up there.
The list can go on & on.
