I don’t think that’s true of RV culture at all. I currently live on the road with my partner, and while we don’t yet have kids, we’ve met dozens of families and many more dozens of kids. All were more than capable of socializing and making friends, both with adults and other kids, and could often be found running around whatever campground or forest we were parked at. Certainly you can live a very isolated life on the road, but just like when living in a house if you put yourself out there there is a welcoming community that will respond.

I would say definitely with the right van build. I lived in a self-converted van for two years with my partner, and we spent both winters ski bumming in the Northeast US and Colorado. We saw temperatures down to -14F and could keep the van a balmy 65 inside. We heated the van with an externally exhausted 16k BTU propane furnace (blew dry heat) and that thing could really crank out warmth.

As for showering, we never did in the winter because external grey tanks freeze. We did have a showerpan embedded flush in the floor so it didn't take up any space normally day to day. We would just have to set up shower curtains around it before we did. I actually showered more outside of the van for that reason. Mostly we would just clean ourselves with hot towels for a few days before we had to wash our hair.
