with that in mind... trust yours when she moves "floor plan" to
the top of each and every list. At the price points you are
considering you have multiples of options... a good place to
be.
In my search, (over a few years), I got all wrapped up in
the various opinions proffered on RV forums.... very difficult
to separate the wheat from the chaff... best , most accurate
info was gleaned on owner forums, and calling the factory.
Be a skeptic... you are signing the check.
If you are interested in discussing the Artic Fox pros and cons
from my perspective please feel free to p.m. me...
again, good luck... RV "house hunting" is actually pretty fun...
approach it as such and the entire process will be a lot more
enjoyable.
