4 season is nothing more than advertising. R-20 is the norm of even the nicest of trailers.
Houses struggle and they are r-30-40 with 18 inches of insulation.

Double pane rv glass has a .5 r value and is not gas filled. It will keep the moisture build up from happening, but hard to justify the cost.
My 2 cents, take it or leave it.
