Wife and I camp year around and in below freezing temps in our 4 season trailer.
Here are a few considerations:
No trailer is 4 season when unoccupied for long periods or should I say unattended.
Furnace must be set and Propane consumption monitored.
Boondocking in freezing temps require continuous use of generator as furnace drains battery in a matter of hours.
Camping at a campground with electric hook-up is very doable in freezing temps.
We set furnace at 70*, always have 2 bottles of propane and outside shower is drained and off.
I still winterize after a trip,takes 15 minutes and less than 2 gallons of RV antifreeze.
I see boondocking for extended periods in 20* asking for trouble.
