Best Four Season Travel Trailer

I would like to know which Travel Trailer is the best for use in the winter time. I have heard Bigfoot is really good but they are kind of expensive.
  • Even the "best" four season RVs need attention and care in freezing temps. My Winnie is also good at 20F...for limited time with the heater going.
  • A 4-season TT may depend on where you are located. The closer you get to a true 4-season, the higher the price, and it will be heavier.

    My FW is called 4-season, and works well, from experience, at 20 degrees. How much colder, IDK, but a few modifications would be needed to go to say 0-10 degrees.

  • I have a 2007 one of these:

    Roughneck trailers

    I full time.

    I have used it from 105F to -42F. At -42F you aren't leaving camp for too long you want to be sure of your electricity supply if you know what I mean. It is easy to keep the propane boiling if you know how.
    Worst weather was -30F with a light breeze. Furnaces ran about 60% -70% of each hour I would say.

    The decor and built ins are more full time working person style than staples and wafer board.

    Oh and at 1400lbs on the hitch and 8900lbs dry and empty mine wants one of them "nuff trucks" to pull it. But it tows really nice and has lots of ground clearance.

    Did I mention there are no slides to give trouble and let cold, drafts and flies in?
  • We bought a Outdoors Rv for a couple of reasons they have a solid frame with shocks, a 80 gallon water tank, 2 inch side walls and a curved roof. But also remember they are heavy you need a 3 quarter ton truck to pull them.
