I had a 2006 Nash 22GQ, (basically the same model as the 22G)for five years. Two Christmas trips to Taos where it got to 5-6 below some nights. Very comfortable. I had the storm window option. Probably more efficient than the dual panes but not near as handy.
Now have a 2008 Arctic Fox 29V, (about 30' with two slides) also with the storm window option. Last two Christmases in Taos. Don't think it got below zero but single digits at night. The larger TT takes more propane but is still easy to keep comfortable.
We just returned from a 10 day trip in our 3 season camper. The temps dropped down to 4* degrees one night, 5* degrees the next night, and somewhere between 10* - 27* degrees the other nights. We survived with no problems, however, the propane furnace ran 85% of the time with a small electric heater running 100% of the time. We want something that will hold heat in the winter and keep the pipes from freezing. 4 season RVing is so much fun and much more convenient when you have a high quality 4 season capable camper.
Speaking of Taos, we like to head up to Ojo Caliente a few times throughout the winter to soak in the hot springs. Ojo has a small campground under large cottonwoods next to a mountain stream. It's a very affordable and relaxing place to camp, but it's a long way from any bathroom. Having a 4 season camper with heated tanks would allow us to use our own facilities, which would make the trip even that much better. Also, a 4 season camper isn't so hard on an A/C unit during the summer months. The better the insulation, the easy the A/C unit can run and cool the trailer.
