New Arctic fox and first 2 weeks in it.

Yes i drove 2000 miles to pick it up. They have 2 dealers on the east coast. PA and one in Ohio.

Saved a ton of money when i went west to pick it up.

They have a AF rally coming up in PA the week after labor day

Congratulations on a successful trip. We are looking at AF as our next rig. Being on the east coast limits our exposure. Last I checked, the closest dealers were in PA and somewhere in Canada. Hard to make the time to look at a potential new 5th wheel when so much has to go into just getting to a dealer. But, we are intent on down-sizing a bit and that 27-5T is high on our list. Hope you have continued good fortune with your new AF.

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! ??

Just got back and have to say the AF performed flawless.

The temp was 105 on East Coast and stayed nice and cool inside.

No sewer and 2 weeks without dumping so the tanks were full.

Very pleased with the unit this far.

Lets hope 2 or 3 years down the road i can say the same thing.

I owned my last one for 8 years, and bought a new one this spring. My biggest issues with the new one were with the finish work on the inside.

We just finished 10 days at an electric only site, and we love the tank sizes. We could get by on our last one, but with this one we can shower every day, and still didn't run out of water.

I am betting you will still like it a few years from now.

Congratulations, You’ve got one of the best made units of present manufacture! You “should” have many happy years of use! ??

Sorry its a 35Z and not tech savey so no picks.

What model? Need some pics!
Mine has been less than stellar. Many, many quality issues and an immediate roof replacement because of a build goof. Replacement work was shoddy (done in one day..). Still need to get cracks in siding repaired where they banged the wall on something before it was installed on the trailer.
ON the positive side it has a great floor plan, the dual pane windows make it quiet with no condensation ever and there are a lot of little extra's that cheaper rigs don't have. It also has a TON of storage. We have drawers and cabinets that are totally empty!

[img][/img] Ours has been very reliable. We will be off next week for a week trip. Well built units.
