First TC Purchase Advice - Adventurer 116DS
Hi folks, my third post in the TC forum seeking help with a new purchase. I've been doing a lot of reading here (read the last 9 months threads) and at TCM. As mentioned previously my truck is a 20...

We have an Adventurer 910 DBS. We love it. As far as comparing to AF, we liked the use of space better in the Adventurer, and the finishes are matched. Adventurer has so much more storage, which is important for extended camping. Ours is considered a 4 season camper as is AF and it's meant to be used off the truck, which we do routinely.
Customer service has been exceptional, you get more for your $$ with Adventurer.
If the 116 had been out when we were looking, it would be our choice. We have not seen one in person and that does make a difference because space is very deceptive in a picture. In our 910, we have the largest amount of counter space that we seen in any TC. The increased floor space and comfort of a sofa or chairs is a plus. We do miss that, as our large dog takes up most of ours.
The side entry really is nice when towing, on our rear entry you have to be quite athletic to climb up while hooked to the boat. (It keeps us young.) Thank goodness don't have to do it often.
As far as the wet bath is concerned, for us it's non-issue. As a woman, I was worried it would be hard to keep clean or to dry. We use a large quick dry absorbing towel to dry everything after showering. It's great.
If you have any concerns, call them and talk to Brad Boyle or Greg Tucknies. They have all the answers and have patiently answered my plethora of questions. I did extensive research, believe me.
No brand is perfect, and each one may have a "glitch", but if you want a good value and quality, Adventurer is a solid brand (IMO.)
I hope you find this helpful.
