Living in the north, I think I would select the one that will keep me warm. That sure doesn't sound like the Camplite. Everyone always talks about leaks. Leaks are a non-issue if you are an attentive owner. When I bought it new, my bottom of the barrel trailer was a veritable horror story waiting to happen according to the masses around here. A thorough inspection followed by Eternabond and caulk, and 10 years later still no leaks.
