What makes a 4 seasons trailer
We currently have a Rockwood 8313SS and for what we do now it suits us. We have been looking at dealerships and camping shows for 4 seasons trailers. Of course we find each brand has their definition ...

Mine has a 4 seasons sticker on the side so it must be good for all 4 seasons:)
Funny thing is it only has R15-R18 insulation and no dual pane windows. It does have heated, insulated and enclosed tanks.
One thing to remember is that with heated tanks is that unless they have elec pads on them then you have to run the furnace to heat them. If you're camping in sub freezing weather then that could use a lot of propane.
All the hype about 4 season is really worthless if the trailer has air gaps where they cut out for elec or plumbing in the outside walls and floor.
Best thing to do is open all the drawers and doors and look at how they sealed everything up. Sometimes you need to remove access plates or drawers to see back in the cabinets. It can be ugly sometimes.
If you want better 4 season values then you need to look at higher end units that are recommended for full timing.
