Ok, I wonder if I should order a TT without ever seeing it, I like the Arctic Fox 32A, but only seen the pictures and video from there website. The closet one is 6+ hours away. There are other models at Lazy Days in Longmont but no 32A. Would you do it or not?

As you know, We have that very model and did indeed buy sight-unseen. Ordered it just he way we wanted.You can go to the dealer and pick out the fabrics and colors by looking at other models on the lot. So you have a good idea of what your getting. Also give you a good idea of how it's built.I also poured over the Youtube video's of it and paused to look at every detail.Would do it again in a heartbeat!

The Arctic Fox 32A is an absolutely beautiful trailer....floor plan, construction, fit and finish, design elements, livability are all first rate. I have been in a number of them.....But, everyone has different likes and requirements, so I'd still make the trip to view one..Lots of coin to shell out sight unseen. You will probably be even more excited after you actually walk through it.

I did it when we ordered our 2016 AF25R. No regrets.But I think I would have made the trip to see it first hand if there was a 25R within a day's drive or so. If you are apprehensive, why not make it a two day trip to see the exact model you would be ordering? Lots of $$$$ involved. Stay in that area overnight before returning home. Call ahead though, to make sure the dealer will still have it on his lot.

We recently looked at a fifth wheel that I was fairly sure we were going to buy. Turned out the color scheme was darker than it looked online and the fold out sofa was suitable only for children. I’m glad we made the drive to look at it.

We bought an 2011 Arctic Fox 25R in late 2010. Had to order it so technically we bought it sight unseen until delivery day. It has been fantastic for us. Reliable, well constructed, still pretty after all these years. Use it 6-10 weeks per year and many long trips over the years.

My vote is it is OK to trust Northwoods Manufacturing (AF & Nash) products.

If you looked at the layout on line and are happy with that, after reading ScottG's post with the exact same one, if it was me I would go for it.
We are in a similar boat, but all ready committed. Our 2017 trailer was totaled with the salt water storm surge from Irma. We wanted to replace it with one slightly bigger and did a walk through of one that was a 2017 but already sold.
They told us the new model (2018) would be the exact same layout but with different interior colors. We looked at them on line and decided to go ahead and gamble. It should be delivered the end of this month and we are keeping our fingers crossed.
