4-season RVs: typically RVers doesn't spend the harsh dead-of-winter months or 100+ summer months in an RV. They travel to more pleasant climates - especially full-timers. So 4-season and full-timing really isn't a big thing.
As for a good mfg. - we love our Newmar and the reason we bought it 9 years ago was because of talking to folks with Newmars and finding out that they were all happy with the build and how they kept their condition after years of traveling. As you read these forums you will notice that there are very few posts about problems with Newmars. Yes, as with any mfg. you 'could' have problems but your chances are slim with a Newmar. It's a very stable company and one of few who have not gone under with bankruptcy or selling out to another. It's a small company and no mass productions. They will do many custom changes - or they used to. We had approx. 100 changes/additions/deletions made. It was built for us. Some things were small like moving an electric outlet or adding one, but some were large, too. We wouldn't hesitate to buy another Newmar.
They're based in Indiana and you would be wise to take their tour and learn how they're made.
We've lived in it full-time for 9 years and even traveled for a summer to Alaska and it's still going strong and looks fantastic. You won't go wrong if you search for a used one. They hold up well. By the way, we didn't seek out a 4-season one but Newmars are very well insulated and by 'mistake' we have been in freezing and high heat temps - but not for long! Good luck!
