You will be spending all of your money on LP tank refills.
The electrical system is not meant for large loads either, so dont go thinking you can just plug in a electric heater to keep warm.
Not to mention all of the outgasing of the chemicals in the treated wood, floor, etc.
It wont be so bad in a older trailer, but they are not meant to be lived in full time, theres a reason they are called RV's (recreational vehicle)
Agreed, there are a lot of people out here in the oil fields trying that and it is expensive. Plus you have to take into account those systems were not meant to run constantly so you are always fixing them. In addition you will have your water lines freezing up and breaking a lot if you do not do a very good, and I mean very good job of insulating the camper. Problem is, those campers are not insulated for 4 seasons. Most are designed for 3 max. A true 4 season runs the water lines inside the trailer to keep them heated. Get a house or Apt and forget the hippy life lol.
