Good mid priced fifth wheel

You don't have to get an AF serviced/repaired at an AF dealer. We bought ours 300 miles from home (Salem to La Grande, Or) even though the closest dealer is 50 miles away. We have since had it repaired at a local RV repair facility. A call to AF is all that's needed and they will find a repair facility near you.

Have to agree.....love ours!

I really love our Jayco Eagle, but I have no idea what classifies as a "mid-priced" fifth wheel.

Thanks so much for all this info. We were going to look this aft., but tree decorating won! Will probably work on this in earnest after the holidays. Thanks again, you've all given us much to think about!

I searched for a couple years and ended up ordering new from the factory at LaGrande, OR. Arctic Fox are a solid four season rig that hold their value and move quickly off RV sales lots. I was real close to buying a CrossRoads Cruiser after searching the first year, when a dealer near us dropped the line I focused on finding a AF. Happy hunting!

We have been full timers for 10 years & have a HH which is not mid range & not make any longer. But have seen most rigs out there. My vote is Artic Fox. After I saw one with two full size four wheelers hanging off the back stacked one above the other. They were from the NW & liked to winter in the desert ride 4 wheelers did not like toy halers, did not want to pull a trailer. So he had taken the front wheels & put them behind the rear for balance.

I guess what I am trying to say is. If Artic Fox was not a very well built rig he could not have carried those 4 wheelers. So if I was looking for a new rig Artic Fox would be on my short list.

We bought a new Sabre last year and have spent over 50 nights in it so far, I really think that you would be hard pressed to find more bang for your buck than the Sabre.

Susan, We have a 2009 Open Range and are finishing our 5th year with it.It has been a good unit and the factory is great. Ours was the 162 unit they built.At first they had a little problem but have definately have taken care of those problems. I would vote to have him check out their website They have come out with more models since we got ours. They are lighter than some of the same length. Ours is about 34' and weighs about 2000# lighter tan our previous 5er of the same length. Good Luck in his venture.
