wvworking, Sorry we didn’t respond earlier.....we were out camping!
If your looking at a travel trailer (not a 5th wheel), take a look at the Excel brand. They were guaranteed down to a -10 F. The company went under a few years back.....but still has support from some of the original company employees!
There’s not a lot of them out there (smaller family owned manufacturer), but worth taking a look at!
If a fifth wheel is on the menu, you were given a good list in an earlier post. Of the manufacturers that built good 4-season units......Excel was the most recent (meaning newer, used units out there), to fold. And as I mentioned....there is a group of Excel workers that formed there own company....and the specialize in the Excels!
However, true 4-season units will be pretty heavy, due to the construction. Essentially....you can’t get the 4-season features without additional weight!
One of the best among the best....was the Teton. But, they “folded” in ‘07.....meaning you have to be very careful about roof/slide leaks that may have caused damage. There are several good buys on Tetons out there. RVTrader.com and RVT.com, have numerous listings. There was one near us that appeared to be an awesome unit. If I didn’t already own it’s “near twin”.....I would have looked at it!
