In order of our experience of actual insulation value and liveability in extreme cold or hot weather in 5th wheel units;
1- Teton homes
2- New Horizons
3- Excel
4- Arctic Fox
5- Carriage
6- pre monaco holiday rambler
As previously stated, R values are suspect to build method. Add all the wall insulation you want, its useless if the critical water systems are not protected from freezing.
Pay special attention to water system freeze protection to determine if the unit is truly an all season rv like you wish for.
Should cold weather protection not be a concern for you at this time, rather air conditioning, then upper body insulation and dual pane windows are equally important.
