My Host hasn’t leaked in 14 years of being store outside, so none do. ;) But seriously, you can find bad press on any brand and as previously noted over and over. Quality of one unit doesn’t guarantee the quality of the next unit.
I don’t think people buy a Host because they are better quality. They bought them for the innovation and floor plans that other brands just don’t have.
In any case, I hear a lot of people buy Northwood to save money. I think for the most part, you save money because you are getting less options. That’s what they tell me when they looked at mine. That’s ok to trade those two things off.
Hard to say how much this new type of Arctic Fox will cost compared to an equal optioned Host. Maybe someone has two estimates to compare from dealers who give equally good prices. We know MSRP is a fake number that almost nobody pays.
Jim, that link said the issues were with NEW ONES! Not the old ones like yours.
One of the dealers in Pasco was wondering if they were about to sell out to a new set of owners. I’ve seen that happen with MANY truck camper brands. Seems COVID 19 has hurt their workforce. Or they can’t seem to keep good people building their campers. Either way, just because yours is great, doesn’t mean that things stay the same. The article I posted spoke to some VERY SPECIFIC issues that current new owners are having. Again, not old units like yours.
