Lance is another 4 season manufacturer. All of these are west coast for some reason. The Cougar Half-tons are also west coast and can be ordered with 4-season options, but are probably not as well insulated or as well built as the others.
Compared to the Lance, the Northwood family (including Outdoors RV) tend to be heavier, use more wood in construction, and have very rugged frames/axles/wheels/tires capable of off-road use. The Lance uses light-weight frames and has less road clearance.
The Northwoods also have vented a/c in the roof, and, to me at least, are more spacious inside (some have vaulted ceilings, no step-up to the pull-out dinette, more head-room in the shower).
