Like I've said before the only thing 4 seasons about trailers is the heated and enclosed tanks. Manufacturers don't care how much heat you need to heat the inside of the unit. They can tout 4 seasons cause it has heated and enclosed tanks. R values don't even have to be all the great either. All that matters is that your tanks don't freeze.

You really need to address these issues with Northwood. Really does no one any good to drag this on. Lots and lots of trailers are built crapy. I'm not really sure what your point is about constantly bringing up issues that are common in the RV business. If you think you have the only trailer with shoddy workmanship then you're in for a rude awakening. All 3 trailers I've owned had things just like you're talking about. It ain't no big deal. They all look real good (or should) till you start taking panels off or removing drawers and start looking behind all the bling.
Actually, when a RV manufacturer claims R-14 walls and R-18 ceilings, then there should be a little more expected than heated/enclosed tanks. I don't expect to see a huge hole from the outside where I can stick my hand in and play the with "heated" insides. That just makes no sense.. Holes allow heat to escape and allow cold air/snow to come in. Simple as day.
Also, the point of all of this is to show people how important it is to fully inspect a trailer before they buy it. Like I have said before, I am not out to bash NW. I am doing something good for the community, and if this encourages RV makers to put more quality into their trailers then that won't hurt either.
