Both are happy with few reported issues. If I was buying today, that's what caught my eye. ...
Something I left out of my earlier gripe session was, how I can't understand how any company can sell a trailer for $100K+ that has any issues at all, but they are out there.
I've got a lot of gripes too about simple things not being on RVs that are needed by everybody. Urgh. Towel and toilet paper holder in bathrooms, lock on the bathroom door, water pressure regulator, ceiling vents that are adjustable (can close/open), etc. I think a smart dealer would add all of those things or offer a package to add the things the manufacturers are too cheap to add.
I also liked what I read about Arctic Fox. The downside is that my wife wanted a bunk house which I don't think they offered AND there is no dealer in Utah for Arctic Fox 5th wheels. Surprisingly we don't have an Airstream dealer either.
