What brands of class C are truly winterable?
Some ideas I have:
Double pane glass, heated water and waste, insulated floor, tight seals, storage compartments locks and gaskets suited for freezing salt and water, same for steps and motor.
Heat distribution in coach consistent front to back.
Arctic package Forest River that I own is not exactly arctic.

Not quite accurate.
Triple E is a much larger manufacturer than Bigfoot....manufactures Class A's, Class C's, and towables.
Everything they make is quality and constructed for true 4 season use.
Ask the man who owns one.

Regarding heat distribution, my Bigfoot has 2 heater switches on the dash.
The rear one blows heat in (obviously) the rear area.
The furnace works fine to heat the unit when parked, but a sore spot is the cold that comes in from the cab area. We use a heavy blanket to close off the cab when parked.
Also, the water heater works 3 ways.
Propane
Electric
And, there is also a hose from the engine that uses engine water heat to keep the water warm. (No, it dosn't flow inside the water heater.)
We live in Alaska and have been researching the same question. Bigfoot does seem to be the most popular recommendation for a true 4 season rig. Only problem is that the sticker price on Bigfoot's is shocking - list is about $120k. Anyone have any idea what a buyer could expect to pay for a new Bigfoot?
Almost every winter camper I meet complains about cold coming from the cab. The best thing to do is to turn off the heater before you turn off the engine - place the control in "OFF". Otherwise your heater gives you air pipes to the outside which pass in the frigid air. Try it!
