Researching Class C Motorhomes

We have been researching 2005 - 2009 Class C motorhomes. We wanted a Bigfoot as it was supposed to be very good for winter use with double pane windows and the way it heated the underbelly but they are hard to come by so we've regrouped and are looking at others that might fit our criteria. We also need something that would be able to pull a boat weighing about 5000 lbs...

If you can I would look for a 08 or newer. In 2008 Ford lengthened the cab area of the E-450 (and maybe E350 but I our manufacture does not use the E350 so have no real data on them). They also did away with the troublesome transmission mounted parking break in favor of a more traditional parking brake. A lot of little changes that improved a good truck.
We have an 07 Lazy Daze. The wife and I have camped several times in weather going into the mid 20s at night and was very comfortable. This spring on a solo trip to CO I got caught in very cold weather (less than 10 over night and days in the 20s), inside the RV was cold. I kept a heavy sweater on and with a down sleeping bag was comfortable enough but would not want to make a practice of that kind of trip. A RV designed for four season camping would be better. In the winter I camp with the fresh water system winterized. I also try to stay in parks with electricity to run the onboard electric heater as the factory propane heater is not all that efficient - It warms up the place well enough, but uses a lot of propane and battery doing it.
