Best Truck Campers for Winter Camping
I am thinking of selling my Rexhall and buying a truck camper and would use it in the summer and winter. Which truck camper do you think is best for winter use?

My 2004 Fleetwood (manufacturer is out of business) was top of the line camper and it is "design" for winter.
I do have heating ducts going down to holding tanks area to prevent freezing.
Basement, attic, bells and phone wiring.
But even I camp on snow only once with it, I notice lot of heat escape.
Since I had to do some frame repairs, I sealed "cold" electrical cord compartment from dumping cold air inside, I sealed hot air "outlets" around sewer pipes, I put some foam insulation on furnace cover, where just warmed air was hitting cold steel with no insulation.
So getting a camper that has some designs for cold weather is one story, making it really working in cold weather is up to the owner.
No manufacturer will send a crew with caulking guns to seal the hole new buyers newer dare to check.
