Check very carefully for rot, and delamination especially on the front cap and around skylights. Our 2006 AF1150 leaked in a couple places in the first year of ownership.

Arctic Fox was a very good company to work with while Ron Nash was in charge. Calls for help from Alaska with our broken slide to AF were useless. Given all the issues we had how hard is it to ship me a new motor without markup at my expense? BTW, when we found a dealer that would ship one to us they wanted almost a grand. t's just a small DC motor. Ridiculous. lol.
You might consider adding Host to your list of used campers. I have been very impressed with the build quality. MY BIL has a 2 slide 2006 that he loves.
