There is not a trailer on the market nor has there ever been that will handle 10 or 20 below 0 temp. I've survived in them but it wasn't easy. Between sewer & water trying to freeze and running furnace full time plus 2 electric heaters full time, frost build up inside and bedding & clothes freezing to the walls, it is a chore. Maybe if you just experiance these kinds of temp for a few days you'll get by. Do it for 3 winters in a row all winter long and see how well it works. I've done it. Artic Fox is the closest you can get to a 4 season trailer. Wish I could afford one. It still would not be ideal or fun, believe me.
Sir, I respectfully disagree! We lived in ours through 2 Wyoming winters while building our home. 1990 Teton, Livingston, 34 ft., one heater and no auxiliary heat sources, and no skirting during the first winter. We never froze a water line, had comfortable living conditions, seeing a few -30F mornings, and numerous-20 F mornings. We did get frost inside the front closet at the back of closet (nose of camper)....our fault as we had the sliding mirrored doors closed. Once we discovered or mistake.....opening the closet doors solved the problem. We also had no frost on any walls throughout the unit. So....there are some that can and do handle cold temps.
We do 3 or more weeks of boondocking every fall/winter, with water in the system, with low temperatures often near or slightly below zero F.....with no issues. With a Teton prior to the one we have now, we spent several days boondocking/ ice fishing with low temps around -22 F.
Tetons and Excels, were factory guaranteed to -20 F!
