Host Cascade vs Arctic Fox 992

I've researched Eagle Cap as well, there've been great reviews on their quality and customer service during the past few years (a bit hit or miss before that), but at the end of the day, they seem about equivalent to an AF in terms of quality and price (though I've never been in one).

Eagle Cap has some stuff I like - fiberglass caps, etc - but lacks stuff I like (more storage in bathroom, slide tray in basement which the EC995 doesn't have for some odd reason, etc) I really like the Fox Landing to move the stairs off to the side and avoid the trailer.

The big factor there is PRICE - options are significantly more money than they are with AF for the same thing.

Still pondering - does anyone have any experience negotiating with Host on a new build price?

EC995 has basement slideout tray EC website
We just purchased an EC850 last week. The storage is great both in/out. On par with AF...
The EC basement drawer is huge!

The EC construction is unique also...very robust...feels soild like BF or NL...no luan walls in EC!
Pricing for TC's is kind of funny. We found Lance to be the most $ we looked at.
AF the least $!
You never really know if it is the dealer or the Mfr???
We did get what we think was a very fair deal on our EC.

It came down to EC or AF for us...and they are very similar. The EC had a larger dinette bed and bigger bath. Deal breakers for us.

In any case, I encourage you to look at all contenders before you lay down $
In a year...it won't matter where you bought it...
(3 yrs for Eagle Cap warranty...)

Good luck.
