Congratulations on your new fiver and the success of your first trip. That's how it should be. We've thought about what we might do for our next one and AF is high on the list. I just wish they would offer a residential fridge option, which last time I checked they didn't.
We were set on getting a new Winslow, but unfortunately Excel stopped production before we were ready. They were very nice units.
The Excels were very good units, and some used come available occasionally. It’s my understanding that ex-employees, formed their own company and work primarily on Excels. Kinda like factory support....without the factory! ??
We've had our Winslow for 6 years now. Ordered it new. The only service it has needed was a slide adjustment about 5 years ago. We did change the suspension to MorRyde IS last year which will make us keep it a bit longer but looking for something similarly built is a bit of a challenge. The AF's seem to be in that class but haven't looked that closely.
Some former Excel employees did open a service center in Smith Center, Kansas and have been doing well with it from what I hear. They will service any brand but are where many Excel owners go for repairs.
