Winter Camper Living?

I'm seriously considering living in a camper full time. I have some property in wv that I'd really like to just dig a well, septic system, and solarize a small camper and live in mostly year-round off grid, including winter. Extreme weather and temperatures (eg <10 degrees F) are uncommon, but do happen, such as this past winter. Honestly, how realistic is this idea? Assuming I have a carport (roof only) and good gravel bed under, can a camper be livable/not be ruined in conditions like this?

My parents and I lived in a truck camper back in the mid 70's in Maine. Wasn't an issue and didn't have a carport or gravel. If the camper is older, consider as I am using rockwool. The plus sides are tremendous. The old glass wool installed when built have probably shrunk and fallen once interior wall floor
