I had both these campers in mind for fulltiming too ... if you are driven to make the "right" choice for you, you really will need to see them in person. Photo's are nice, but nothing like getting a sense of the materials used, experience the colors, how the space works for you, the kitchen, etc.
One of these campers is likely to be "it" as soon as you walk into it.
Looking at pictures, I was always wondering which camper I really liked better. As soon as I walked into the 1165, I thought that was it. Spent a number of hours in a Mammoth, Everst, 1165 and 1200 in a couple of RV shows and at dealers, my intial impression after actually looking at these campers didn't change.
Absolutely...before laying down big coin you need to see all contenders firts hand. We had put a deposit on another brand (thought that was it!) and was convinced by another forum member to do some more shopping before we pulled the trigger.
We took a drive, changed our minds immediately, got our deposit back, and bought the EC.
Take your time, takes notes, lots of pics. Think of how you will use/pack the camper. Sit inside. Look at storage in/out. "Use" the bathroom...
Good luck, Bill
Do not listen to Bill on this one, DO NOT USE the BATHROOM, you will probably be thrown off the dealers property!!
