JMO but 3 seasons is enough for me. If I was full timing and had the freedom to move around, the last place I'd want to be is the place where the weather is either extremely cold, hot or raining for days on end. Isn't that the idea to go full timing? To have the freedom to go and do whatever and wherever you want? I understand that having a true 4 season trailer would be needed if you're going to stay somewhere where it's 25* for days on end. But geez who the heck wants to live out retirement putting up with that?
Most people that leave the cold for the heat and vice versa are doing so because they can.
It's one thing to be somewhere where the weather takes a turn real quick and you need to tough it out. But some planning ahead would take care of that.
If you're not in control of yourself while on the road then maybe you need to address why you're not. I'm not sure what's stopping anyone full timing from hitching up and going where they want. If you're camp hosting then that's different. Weather can turn nasty at times in certain areas of the country. If it's a money issue then it sounds like full timing is the wrong life style.
If you're the guy that's living in a van down by the river then that explains it.
In our situation, it's because we go where the work is...at least for the next seven months. We chose a rig that can handle temps below freezing for long periods of time.
This will be tested fully for the next couple of months...we're leaving Wyoming in about a week to spend November and December in PA. However, since we've already spent about a week last year below zero, without issue, we don't expect it to be a problem...
