Brands that are well built for winter??

No longer built, but our Newmar has a winter package - 2 furnaces, 1 AC and extra insulation. We survived several days below zero and a night at 18 below in Denver a few years ago with no issues. Only complaint was the bedroom was too warm as we had to run that furnace to keep the belly warm.

Dennis, We had a Teton with 2 furnaces, and had the same problem. If your ductwork is shared, you should have heat to the basement area. If memory serves me correctly we lowered the front heater set-point pretty low to minimize run time. But, I’ve slept since then, I ma6 not be correct. By the way - Newmars were nice units. The best days of RV manufacturing have passed!

:S I wonder how much I paid for my 4 seasons sticker on the Laredo?

Yeah but how wonderful is it to pull it with a truck with the extra 15 horsepower from the STP sticker?

New or used. If used, there are several brands, that are no longer available new, that excelled for cool weather camping. A couple had a -20 F warranty. Sadly, some of the best made camper manufacturers went out of business when the economy crashed in the late 2000’s. They were quite expensive, and the economy could not support them....plus the market was “flooded” with cheap units.

Some of these units are available used, however as always with a used unit....a very in-depth check on it’s quality is a must!

An advertised 4-Season unit of today, is rarely a 4-season unit....unless your 4 seasons are in the Florida Keys!

We wouldn’t hesitate to use ours at minus 20 F, and often boondock at or a little below 0 F!

The Kz Gold Line https://www.kz-rv.com/products/durango-gold-fifth-wheels/

far cheaper than the high end 5th wheels but just as well built :)

Nash, Arctic Fox, OUtdoors RV. I just bought a Rockwood with a belly pan and heated tanks. It is R-14 in the roof, R-12 in the floor and R-7 in the walls. That would qualify as a "4 season" coach.

DRV Mobile Suite is well insulated. Back when Citation was building trailers they guaranteed their trailers to be comfortable down to 30 below. Although we will never use ours in cold weather we appreciate how well it stays cool in warmer temperatures.

You might want to look at the River Stone or their Legacy Line by Forest River, thicker walls, dual pane windows are some of their standard features. Good luck on your search.

Thank you for your help.
