There is no industry standard for a "4 Seasons" RV. It's all marketing hype just like "Arctic Package, Yetti Package, Canadian Package" and others. Until there is an established standard it's meaningless...

I don't know if these claims are totally meaningless. If you are looking for a four-season RV, just put the specifications for all those who claim to be four-season side-by-side and compare. I know my 2014 OR Roamer claims to be four-season, but the dump valves are not enclosed, though the water hookups are. However, the insulation is great; when we looked at them on a hot South Texas summer day in Buda and also looked at new Jaycos on the same lot, there was a HUGE temperature difference; the Roamers were a good 15 degrees cooler. Arctix Fox does not sell down here and neither does Outdoors RV, so the Open Range is the MOST four-season we can get down here*. I think of the four-season claim as a continuum, but the consumers have to do the ratings for themselves.
*Of course, OUR four seasons are Summer, Summer, January, and Summer!
