Does the site you're going to have electricity? All air conditioners require electricity, won't run on battery. If so, a roof mount ac would be the way to go. You can get them with heat but the price gets high. Be sure the roof can support it though, may have to brace it if any doubt.
As for heat, there are 2 choices, electric or propane. Electric is cheapest, simple space heaters will do what you are wanting. Propane is going to require an RV furnace which runs on propane and 12 volt controls. If there is no electricity, that's the only safe way to heat it.
There is no inverter unless you want to add one to run a very light 120v load if there is no electricity available. Typically all there is is a heavy duty battery or 2 batteries to get the run time up, that run all the 12v lighting, water pump, etc. You start with fully charged batteries, run till they're discharged. Then when you can plug into power, charge them up, use the 12v stuff while it's plugged in. Or you can connect to the tow vehicle and charge them up.
Those old campers weren't really designed for cold weather use. The insulation was minimal, windows leaked, drafty... Again, it depends on what power you have available. If electric, add up the amperage of your heat, be sure not to overload the available service or the power cord. But don't under estimate the needed heat. Might want to do a few trial runs at home before heading to the woods!

Today's Featured Article - Reflections of the Fifties - by "Country" Elliott. I remember rowing up in the 1950�s in a small, rural town in northwestern New Jersey. The closest town to ours was only 3 miles away, and there were seven dairy farms in the areas of these two country towns. We had 5 acres, and because my Dad was a salesman and not a dairy farmer, he let the Bockovens, who owned the Willow Tree Dairy farm most of our land.
