Ok. So I have been digging around on the forum and have come upon the key point that I think is going to stop my rv plans dead. The winter. My plan is to get an rv and take it up to breckenridge, co during the winter so I can avoid steep hotel/bb/motel prices. It would be used as a weekend vacationer. Well I checked the temps for the last month and every night they are around mid twenties Fahrenheit. Upon this realization I started digging into full timing and specifically winter camping and came up with some things:
Am I missing something else?
I understand that there are special companies like artic fox that make Rv's with winter in mind and that my intended use plays a factor. Does intending to only stay at camps with hook ups change this equation at all? By wanting a rv for winter I feel like I have now added another layer of complication to the equation and thus much more money.
What is y'alls take on it?

- Condensation from all the breath is now a factor
- The thinness of a rv's walls aren't made for deep colds
- it becomes necessary to take measures to keep the grey and black tanks from freezing (anti-freeze)
- most winter campers don't run fresh water, they use water containers
- even running the heater all night won't keep an rv warm and toasty
- skirting can help keep some warmth in
