Buy a Winter-proof Class A, use as office
Hi, I am doing preliminary search to buy a Class A Motorhome to use as an office on business trips. Since I live in Canada, winter proofing is mandatory. Does anyone knows good dealers I can talk...

Hi,
Welcome to the forums.
There is a great thread on winter camping in the Full Time Forum.
I have modified my class C to allow it to be used at -40.
So far as I am aware no one makes a "winter proof" RV.
You will want to avoid any unit that has slide outs.
Why avoid an RV with slides? We travel in the Winter and the slides on my Monaco are well insulated and pose no problem at all. The slide walls are built exactly the same as the fixed walls with the same foam insulation. If you are concerned about snow on the topper, it is not a problem, especially if he is going to be sitting for a period of time. If there is snow on the topper and you want to retract the slides, no problem. Just retracting them slowly a few inches at a time and the snow will just drop off has been my experience.
I had recommended a used Prevost chassis coach for him and the slides on a Prevost will not cause him any problems at all. Obviously they will allow the coach to open up and make it much more comfortable for a semi full time place to live.
