I read through your posts over the last month or two and what I see is that you want a comfortable trailer for cooler seasons of the year. What you might find is that as your comfort level goes up, so does the weight of the trailer. Sure, there are lightweight trailers that offer winter protection, but in the end, most will say weight means strength and better insulation. Cooler weather means you will want double pane windows, thicker walls. Maybe even insulated tanks and valves.
Many will then say Arctic Fox units are good all season units, so have a look at them and recognize the qualities that you like. Check the length and the overall weight, and notice the difference in quality built into a heavier unit.
Picking the right trailer at this point might save you getting too small a truck because you bought a light trailer instead of a more heavy duty one.
There are many that say, when you retire, buy quality for yourself and enjoy it. Nobody ever said "I bought too much truck!"
We are looking at an AF 25Y it weighs 6500 dry weight. Still well within modern 1/2 ton limits.
