Northwoods which makes Nash and Artic Fox makes great units. I would go with them.

We have an Arctic Fox our friends have a Denali. The Denali is really nice but it's not a true 4 season coach. We have thermal windows and tank heaters. You won't go wrong with a Fox, we love ours

I know that Nash Arctic Fox RV's are terrific RV's from a very good company. They build their own frame from scratch! And they have a reputation for being a "4 season RV".
BUT!!!
The Northwood Nash only has R-18 insulation roof, R-7 walls, floors. Not really "4 season".
The Dutchmen Denali ($33,000.00 and up) has R40 Insulation Rating - Floors, Roof, Front & Gooseneck....R24 Slide Room Floor and R9 Walls. Not bad at the price. Good!
Even the much touted high $$$ dollar Mobile Suites 5ers ($90,000.00) have R-29 Floor, R-15 walls, R-25 roof.
And the Jayco Eagle travel trailer at $31,000.00 up has R-25 roof, R-24 floors and R-8 walls. Fair.
In comparison the Open Range RV's ($37,000.00 and up) has STANDARD "Extreme Arctic Insulation" of R-38 floors, R-38 roof, R-19 Walls... and add the optional Dual Pane windows for a real "buttoned up" true 4 season RV.
And adding the dual pane windows and everything else is standard! Including insulated "bus style" slam latches on the cargo doors.
And the Open Range has huge 85 fresh, 84 grey and 42 black tanks,and a 2 year warranty, a 2 color exterior that is standard on the Open Range (optional on other brands). Open Range even has a standard bedroom tv.
Good luck on your search!

For previous responses I would search the Travel Trailer section for `cold weather' (2 words). If there are too many results try searching the results for `arctic' or `nash' etc.

Open Range has all the right statistics on paper. THey have had far more problems that I would be willing to risk purchasing. Northwoods Arctic Fox? I do not think I have ever read one bad comment. I wish they offered more family friendly floorplans.
