How to tell if trailer is cold rated???
I am looking at purchasing a used 5th wheel trailer. How can I determine if it is cold weather rated, might a digit in the serial number designate if the trailer is built for cold weather? Any othe...

My FW is advertised as a 4-season model. I have to say, it is well insulated, as in quiet, and heats/cools easily. The underbelly is insulated, with enclosed tanks and valves. There is heat throughout the basement.
There is a few things that would not work, if really cold, such as the outdoor shower. The water lines go to the unheated area that the propane tanks are in. Also the low point drains stick out the bottom.
I have used it in overnight temps in upper teens with no problem. To call it a 4-season, in the Midwest would not be a true statement.
The glass is pretty thick safety glass, but not double pane. I think it does help for sound reduction. It would not be hard to make it more winter ready, but not for below 0 weather.
