We have a 2007 NUWA 5th wheel that is rated as 4 season
We FTd in it for 7 yrs.
Waste tanks/fresh water tank are enclosed, underbelly is insulated and it does have a Furnace Heat duct down into the tank/valve/piping area
We also have 3 Attic Vents ....front/mid/rear roof areas
We have spent time in Very Cold Temps (-19*F) , Snow (2+ feet overnight) Ice/Sleet ---stayed roasty toasty and NO freezing issues with tanks/lines
Have spent time in High Temps.....110*F+ and stayed nice and cool
Yes some MFGs use '4 Season' as a marketing ploy.
Some actually are 4 season
Need to 'insulate' the tanks/valves/piping and not with Batt Insulation
Need to provide a heat source----duct from furnace works especially when you also have return air ducting back to furnace (airflow circulation)
Enclosed Underbelly...fully sealed ---cracks/crooks/nannies
Upgrade you propane cylinders to dual 30# cylinders
Then it is up to how well the walls/ceiling/floor and slideouts have been insulated
