We got snowed on in Golden in April, which is not that far from Longmont. Your weather will be similar to Denver, since it is close by. From sometime in April to sometime in October, an RV would be good and many RV there during that time. In winter I would want to live in something much better insulated. You can get snows and temperatures in winter that will challenge, including driving. But you will also have sunny days above freezing and sometimes into the 60s the same winter.
A friend got to experience 50 below her first winter in Colorado Springs, which has colder weather than the Denver area.
Remember most RVers do not live in one place all year, we move around.

I've lived in Denver for more than 20 yrs & have been fulltime in the Denver area for almost 2yrs. Winters are pretty mild in Denver. It snows, blows & gets cold but that doesn't usually last too long. It will get cold for a while, then the sun comes out & it warms up. Because we're at a high elevation, the sun warms things up quickly & the air is dry, which feels warmer. We've been pretty comfortable in our Mobile Suites the past 2 winters.
That being said, I personally wouldn't want to winter here in a "weekender" type of RV that was poorly insulated, although I know people who do. If you're here during the winter, you do need a heavy coat, boots, gloves, etc. But it's not like other parts of the country where it gets bitter cold & stays that way all winter.

I live about 90 minutes west of Denver and right now days have been hot with cool nights. You will be alright living in your RV until October and then you might want to think about moving into a sticks and bricks.
