Have narrowed our search down and really like the Sunlight T65. However, it doesn’t appear to mention insulation anywhere but there is an option to winterise the waste water tank.
But nothing else. Does that mean everything else is good enough for year round use. I found a vlog on another sunlight in Switzerland in winter but no idea if it was modified in anyway. We are new to motorhomes.

Sunlight and Carado motorhomes are made in the same factory in Saxony and are identical in every respect apart from the graphics and different colour seating .                  There built by the Hymer group and are well put together although they are both budget brands . They all have the freshwater tanks and all pipework inside which makes them very good for winter camping .                           
The waste water tank is not really an issue in freezing conditions as you can just leave the valve open and collect in a bucket

Hymer have just sold their group to the USA , Thor Industries. I don't suppose they will move anything to USA though, and the same standards will apply for Sunlight and the rest of the companies under the Hymer umbrella.

We had a 2010 Sunlight A69 for 7 years. It was certainly winterised enough for all year use in the uk and Northern Europe - we were often out in sub zero temps without issue. Our waste tank was under slung and not heated or insulated but I would say that this would only be necessary for alpine use. - a few slugs of antifreeze down the sink would suffice most uk winter trips.
