Arctic Fox 29-5K feedback?
Any feedback on this model? Good/Bad? Happy with your purchase? Does the slide room wall that blocks the fridge when it's retracted bother you? We love this floorplan and the overall feel of the coach...

Well electrical: I'm currently fighting with an stupid electrical problem in my unit, tho I understand this applies to other models too. NR installed two exterior junction boxes on curb side. One directly ABOVE the WHEELS?! And one just behind the two wheels. And furthermore tho they used 'weatherproof' boxes those boxes are not proof against being blasted by rain water thrown up by the wheels directly against the box.
So I discovered if I turned on the over the table light all the 12V circuits went off. Turning it off repowered the other circuits. This reminded me of something Lucas Electrics would produce. Queries on NROA lead to the boxes and one suggestion was replacing the covers which used 2 screws with ones that use 4 screws. Then applying a heavy layer of silicone after the box is closed. I got the box covers at Lowes. Opening the above the wheel box found it full of water.
I drained that, blasted the box several times with contact cleaner to dry the inside and looking at the wiring. There are 4 wires, two crimped together and one loose wire that seemed to be attached to something. More questions on NROA got the hint that these should be spliced together, did that and the 12V circuits went out. Separated them, have 12 V but the converter isn't charging the battery. Right now I'm in the puzzlement stage, you know 'what the heck?'
