Arctic Fox 27-5L
I'm seriously considering purchasing this unit, and am curious whether these are still as highly regarded as they seem to have been in the past. I live in Richmond, and it's going to cost me about $30...

They really are well built and have lots of little extra's that you may not even notice on first inspection but you will appreciate as the years go by. Little things like gusseting where the springs mount and heavy duty shackles and wet bolts. Also lots of windows and a Revolution Water pump. The list cold go on and on.
As an experienced RV owner you will notice the design that go into these trailers.
I am not disappointed one bit in mine and in fact, I keep finding things that impress me as we explore it.
I say go for it!
Let me know if there are any specific details you'd like to know about.
I was on the Northwood forum and saw a slew of complaints about stripped screws, cheap cabinetry, etc. all of which is really contrary to everything else i've read. I don't know if that thread just attracted a lot of complainers or whether it's really true of the current models...
I found 4 or 5 stripped screws in the cabinets. Cabinets are of typical quality I would say. They use hardwood on the cabinet doors and that wrapped-finish wood (real wood) on the frames but the finish on the frames is basically a sticker like so many others.
Don't get me wrong, these things are still not perfect or ultra high quality. They're equal or better quality than any other premium brand TT I looked at IMO. I consider it a hair above Grand Design which I came close to buying.
Still, there is plenty of room for improvement.
Stripped screws
Messy wood putty application
bits of styrofoam in the AC duscts
All pretty minor stuff to me.
