Can anyone tell me the difference between the Delano and Tiburon brands?

With the exception of Camping World, the dealers that sell them, exterior and interior colors.

Primarily so two dealers in the same area aren’t selling the same model.

Hi I'm new to this site today due to my quest for information. I'm looking at purchasing a used 23 or 24 Delano or Tiburon 24RW early 25 and some questions on these units. Also I'm new to RVing so there's lots I need to learn.
Anyway I have been trying to find out what the "R" values are for these units and at what temp will I need to stop using the RV and winterize it for our long winter. I know there a lot of things that will impact this but was wondering what the general experience was. What low temps are these RVs usable in before you have issues with freezing lines or low house temps that are not fun anymore.
Also I was amazed during my research that RVs don't have a spare tire and this is something I want to include. But the RVs I'm looking at have rear slides and was wondering what options are out there for a spare tire carrier that fits on the back of units with rear slides and also options for bike carriers. I've looked on the net but have had zero luck finding any options.
Any help on these question would be a big help

That's a lot of questions and most of them are subjective. Quality of build, location of components (how close to outside walls), length of time in constant below freezing temps while not winterized and your level of mechanical ability have a lot do to with answers. Generally, RV builders will use the term "arctic" for units that have extra protection in freezing temps. The clearance under the rear slide for a tire or other carrier is something you will have to just measure. We looked at the exact model and the rear slide...among a few other details...is why we chose another model. My Number One piece of advice....do not listen to anything a salesperson tells you about abilities of any RV...research everything you can and need to know in this and other forums as well as crawl all over what you wish to buy and dig up the answers yourself. Generally, temps a few degrees below freezing for a few hours overnight shouldn't pose a problem. If it were freezing all night and all the next day, you will need to take steps to prevent many things from freezing. Often, these steps call for doing without water and living inside with slides in until weather warms up above freezing. Your furnace will go through a tank of propane (small tank on the model you're looking at) in a single day. What other manufacturers/models are you considering? Thor had some very serious build issues with this model in 2023. We looked at 5 of them across 2 dealers. Only one of them was not sitting in the shop for serious build issues & repairs upon delivery to the dealer from Thor. Inquire why the previous seller is selling it so soon. There are a few here that are seasoned experts with camping in the bitter winter. To me...Rving is a fair weather pleasure.
