    I'm curious about what's "Euro" about it besides the look...


    A bidet, perhaps? ;)

    One thing for sure- that front window would need a cover or replacement. I can just see those stones flying now..

    I can't really see the problem you pointed out?

    Kind of a Euro look, with the plastic bubble window, but not so Euro looking with double axles, implying it is still a North America weight.

    We got plenty of trailers with double wheel axles in EU, the biggest different is that the axles in EU are placed centered under the trailer to get less tongue weight because we often got smaller TV as somebody mentioned earlier.

    Higher quality thaan a Northwood Arctic Fox? No way.

    I think that Northwood's quality seems good as for example KABE. KABE is also built for four seasons use and we use our all year around. Last winter when we camped up in the northern parts of Sweden the temperature drops below -25F and we still got warm and cosy inside and around 77F.

    I think Jayco is closest to our EU trailers regarding the interior and now the exterior if the Concept should go live. Very strict and clean interior style.
    I think the biggest differences between a US trailer and a EU trailer is the weight, the EU version is much lighter mostly gained by using different material.

    Here is a pic taken this afternoon, it started snowing in Sweden yesterday.
  • You have my props... getting that tent enclosure on your caravan in minus 30 degree (centigrate) weather is definitely not easy, especially having to shovel the snow from underneath to firmly tie it down.
