811 vs 855S
Would anyone like to compare the Arctic Fox 811 to the Lance 855S. I know the 811 is heavier but it has larger tanks and fridge and it appears that the 811 is a little cheaper. I'll be putting it on...

The only comment I can make is that folks on this board have been reporting issues with removing and or using the AF off the truck with full Fresh water tanks. It would appear that the floor needs support to handle the load of all that water. It could be one of the reasons lance uses smaller tanks to allow for full unsupported of the truck use.
The tanks are hung in AF camper so it shouldn't make a difference on or off the camper. (I know one person "blew up" his tank by over pressurizing it)
How did he do that?
The fresh water tank has a pretty small vent hole. If you fill the fresh water tank with a hose and don't leave room around the fill hole to allow air to escape you can over pressurize the tank with the incoming pressure of the water line and cause the plastic tank to bulge out breaking whatever is in its way. If not on the camper it will expand and break out the floor.
The manual has explicit warnings about this.
