We have a Lance but are looking at the AF 1150.Our biggest concern is the lack of space in the shower. We are looking at the dry bath,as I am not interested in having a wet bath. Been there, done that. We are normal sized people and it feels very cramped to us. Anyone who has that floorplan, have you found it to be an issue?I know we could probably add an extend a shower rod and that might help.Also, is it true that AF says their units should not be used unless they are on a truck?Thanks,Sue

Re: use off the truck. I do not find that in my owner’s manual. We use our 1140 off the truck quite often. We have not had any problems.

“Also, is it true that AF says their units should not be used unless...”Where did you get this information? Gossip around the campfire?

Prior to 2012, the manual said not to take it off the truck with full tanks without supporting the bottom. Later models can be used with tanks filled or empty while unloaded. Is the model you want with a wet bath or dry? The wet bath gives you a bigger shower.

We recently sold our 1150 dry bath. Yes the shower is tight and the step up in the middle of the pan makes it worse. The toilet area is also very tight clearances on each side of the toilet.

I know my 811 was redesigned for 2012 and that was one of the factory reps talking points. Maybe asking on the Northwood user site you can get more detail or shower ideas.
