I have an '08 Cougar (278RKS West Coast edition) and I certainly wouldn't describe it as being "4 season". Both the East and West coast editions of this 5th wheel have "heated underbelly's" but that is a real stretch in both cases. The winter temperatures in the East are just as cold if not colder than many areas of the west coast during the winter so your dealer's explanation doesn't seem to make much sense. There is, BTW, no East Coast 278RKS for that year.
If you look at a 2015 Cougar 333MKS, the specs and floor plans for both the East and West Coast models are identical. However the 2015 Cougar 327RES have slightly different specs for: shipping weight, carrying capacity, hitch weight and length. Their floor plans appear to be identical.
I don't know what the differences are between East and West Coast units but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to them. In most cases the holding tank capacities are the same.
It will be interesting to hear what Keystone's answer is to svanarts' question when asked to explain the differences between the two.
