No, I read it as a reference to another entirely new model.

WIth as heavy as AFs are in their current form, a side entry, rear slide with more slides would probably weigh 7000lbs. (LOL)

I sure wish they would come out with a side entry, rear slide camper. All these new features are nice, especially the digital thermostat but I'm going to have to leave the ArcticFox lineup because I am determined to get a camper with a rear slide so I have someplace else to sit other than the dinette.

I wish they would have taken the opportunity to try to shave a little weight somewhere; AF seems to suffer from "creeping featurism" of the mass kind. Regardless of how nice the new roof and porcelain toilet are, there's really no excuse for the camper gaining yet another 200 lbs.

I live near AF dealer and go every year to see the two model 865 he gets every year. Secret models. Looking forward to seeing the new roof.I really love the layout.

Very cool. A bunch of nice little upgrades! Now if they'd just do a side door model....and loose some weight.

But funny thing is we have a deposit on a large toy hauler now. But plan on keeping the TC for short trips and small campgrounds.

Best of both worlds!! We bought a new Travel trailer and now in the market for another TC..

Last spring I was delivering an RV to the dealer in Kalispell, MT and saw one of the beta "barrel roof" models... it takes some getting used to, not seeing the small overhang on the back of the camper.

I wish they'd delete the roof rack. I've never seen them used. All I use mine for is a hand hold when climbing up on the roof.

Very nice
