Buying New sight unseen
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...

We put in more than 8000 miles of driving over 15 months visiting at least eight RV shows, four manufacturers, and repeat visits to several dealers before making a final decision on our first RV, which has served us for the past 12 years. At first it was not knowing what we wanted, towards the end it was about exactly which model fit our needs, i.e. the living in it. That involved getting in the RV and trying it out.
We've been in a small RV club since 2005, and while most of the members have something they've used and liked for a long time, others keep buying every 2-5 years because what they bought didn't work as well for them as they thought it would.
While I like Artic Fox, and have no reservations about quality and construction methods, I would not buy any particular model without seeing that model and trying it out. That's not the same as needing to see the particular RV, as I have no problem with ordering from the factory based on having seen another example.
If you buy another RV without actually having seen one just like it, you might find yourself soon looking for something else that works better for you.
