Is Creekside TT comparable to Arctic Fox TT?
I came across a 2014 Creekside and a 2012 Arctic Fox ( left over stock) with very similar floor plan. I was told both companies are owned by the same owner. Creeksiide is produced at a formerly Fleetwood plant took over by Northwood a few years back. So if I buy a Creekside, do I get a re-badged Fleetwood or a water- down Arctic Fox?
Both TT have more or less same level of equipment. As far as I can see, the AF has themopane window while the other has not.( A $1,200 option). The Creekside has power jack and the other has manual. The AF is 6" wider and 700# heavier. Both are aluminum framed walls on 4 sides. The roof of the AF is constructed with radiused wood truss. The roof construction of the Creekside is not identified in the rather brief brochure and dealers I visited gave conflicted answer. The front end of the AF is one piece molded cap. The Creekside's front end is laminated Filon with checkered plate at the bottom half.
Fit & finish wise, they are close but AF seem to have an edge. I discovered defects on both units. However, the defects on the AF are from the wear & tear of the long display period. The defects on the Creekside are workmanship related.
The asking prices are within a couple of hundred dollars.
If you are in my shoes, which one would you pick?
