Mr. Mopar...
I am the owner of an Artic Fox 29-5T , purchased new, coming up
this summer on 2 years ownership... so , my opinion is biased.
(but hopefully not overly emotional).
Our unit is well made, the floor plan we desired, and other then
a few piddly issues (manual crank holes did not align with
crank) has been problem free. We purchased the "Silver Fox Edition"
so enjoy a few of the nice upgrades (listed on website). The Rv seemed
to be "turn-key" on arrival.
For the amount of money you will be investing it may be worth your
time/satisfaction to locate the "nearest" dealership...request in-depth video ,
and make your decision. If I had a "do-over" I'm not
sure I could come up with any significant changes or add-ons... I had considered
larger axles and tires/wheels but have since come to find that in our Rv'ing range
and favorite sites that may have been a bit of over-kill... and, would not see
return on that part of the investment.
We would purchase again . Good luck in your hunt... they seem to be on most
"short lists" for RV's in the initial hunt phase. And the scarcity of gently used units
seems to speak to owner loyalty.
