We have looked at that model as well. It does have some really neat features! We have been looking for a TH to live in as well. I like heartland products, we have not owned one yet. We have decided to pass on the cy 4200 because I am not sure I would like the arrangement of the kitchen cupboards. Not too much space there and they are really high. But I hate to pass on the side patio! I do believe the arctic pkg is worth having. Most models that have the arctic pkg have heated and enclosed underbellies so you don't freeze as easily. We have a four seasons now and have not froze yet. We do not live in ours full time now though. We did spend one night traveling through Brothers Oregon with blowing snow and we did not freeze. I am sure Alaska may challenge this though! If you search for full time r.v.ing you can find an abundant amount of information on this subject from people who have done it and are willing to share information on tips and tricks they have found to work. There are some blogs with really good info. Google this as well. We have looked at a lot of different manufacturers and a lot of floor plans. It really pays to spend some time looking. You can tell a cheaper made model from a better made model pretty quickly. They may all have some faults and you may have to have some work done on your unit, unfortunately that is the world we live in. Some people I have read even park the camper in the driveway for a weekend and live in it just to find those issues. Great idea! We search on line for floor plans we like then go look at the dealer ships. R.V. shows are fantastic! So many companies so many units. We only have small ones around here. Would love to go to a big one! After looking at different units we have our list of must haves and that discounts a lot of units. We have a toy hauler and are not happy with the slides on ours. We are very attentive to this feature now. We bought a toy hauler from a company that is no longer in business so no worries for you buying one, unless you buy used I guess! Lots of good information on owners forums too! Good luck and enjoy your new lifestyle!
