I think Arctic Fox does a pretty good job with insulation. I've read good things about Bigfoot trailers, as well. I don't know of any that do a great job with insulation, most choosing a 1.5"-2" wall cavity that is bridged to the exterior surface.
If you can find one that has a 3" or bigger wall cavity and has the framing with a thermal break from the interior, you'll have something close to residential standards. This assumes that windows are dual pane and the floors and ceilings are insulated well. Beware of those Mfg.'s touting R-38 using a Reflectix type of plastic radiant insulation. You will not get close to comfortable with that type of insulation.
