Komfort is/was a division of Thor Industries--not sure it is still a valid RV name.
Thor and Forest River mfg the majority of RVs in the US--neither of the trailers are noteworthy for living thru a winter in Canada.
I would opt for the Silverback over the Komfort but only because you seem to prefer it.
Surviving long-term in lower than freezing temps requires more than skirting, but that is a minimum given--large propane tanks, interior space heaters, insulated water and sewer lines are needed. I would think those trailers are only 30amp service, which will severely limit how much electrical heat you can use.
What happens if the electrical power goes out in mid-winter for several hours? Generator with fuel supply?
It can be done, but may not be easy/cheap/comfortable.
Suggest you go out to some RV/mobile home parks and see how the campers are set up that are permanent.
Good luck.

And welcome to the forum.
