This is “totally” dependent upon what you classify as 4 seasons! 4 seasons in the Florida Keys....is far different than 4 seasons in some of the north-central states, and or parts of Canada. Here at our home, we will see temperatures from -20 F ( sometimes quite colder), to above 100 F. To live comfortably in those extremes, without substantial DIY modifications ( skirting, auxiliary heat in the basement, etc.) requires a pretty good unit. There are few (very few), manufactured today, that can meet those requirements!
Those that meet those requirements, and at a working mans salary, are regrettably .....no longer manufactured!
However, there are used (preowned.....for the politically correct) available, at very reasonable prices!
Some to consider: Teton Homes ( -20 F guarantee), Excel (-10 F guarantee), Carriage ( upper end models), and New Horizons. Arctic Fox is probably the best made today at an affordable price.....but I question there capabilities at well below 0F temperatures!
You will find that true 4season units come with a “weight” price tag....they will be heavy! Unless you have NASA’s budget and technology, and are willing to spend that budget/money on a custom rig......the RV will be heavy!
