Agreed, if you stay in moderate areas, you have over bought from my OP. Not really needed. That is Montana's and Cedar Creek's claim to rv fame - solid fivers for overall moderate temps at a fair price point. A equipped Cougar is becoming very popular in this market tier. Most of the rv activity is in moderate, 3 seasons conditions.
But, if you travel all North American regions you just may, wait, you will be that stressed out man down by the river with a short stick and 9 inches of duct tape left.
Wilma and Joe in their Redwood on that same "down by the river" so called down and out locale will be looking at ya shaking their heads drinking lattes.
The intention of my OP was not talking survivalist outcomes in a small trailer with their Coleman equipment, woolen blankets, REI handbooks and learned, excellent, human ingenuity skills. That belongs in a different forum. The trailer did not survive them, they survived the trailer. Nor is it about validating a mid range fiver to a high end luxury all year fiver. That is apples and oranges.
