Nash 17k

I looked at all the dealers in the PNW, online and found that every dealer seems to order them just a little bit different.

Some order them with thermal pane windows.
Some order them with generators, which drivers up the price about $3500, which pushes it above what most people are will to spend on a small trailer.

The actual length is about 19' of body length.

Thanks to all for the info. Going to look at the 17k. :)

We've had our Nash 17k for 3 summers now & love it. Our favorite feature is the rear dinette surrrounded by windows. So great to enjoy the scenery in the mornings or cool evenings. Tons of storage space, don't feel cramped. We fit in public campgrounds just fine. Good luck making your choice.

I'm getting turned off by having two trucks, and have been contemplating going a different route for an RV and selling my AF811 truck camper and my dually.

Another unit I have seen online is the Black Rock 17B.

I looked at a used 17K today. All I saw was the outside, and while it's a nice looking RV, this one had been driven hard and put away wet. It had all kinds of corrosion on the front diamond plate, and plenty of rust on the frame, wheel wells, rear bumper, etc - all from being used in the winter, on roads covered in de-icer and gravel or sand.

I'm not bashing Northwood, I'm simply stating that this one wasn't taken care of very well.

The roof was stained orange too, which was really bizarre. One of the photos shows the orange roof.

Here's the CL ad: http://spokane.craigslist.org/rvs/5172740687.html

It's for sale by the 3rd owner, so the previous owners are the ones responsible for not keeping up on washing the undercarriage.

Non issue there as the forum has no corporate affiliation with the actual company. The forum is run by an owner of a Northwood RV.

That is a bummer and as I havn't used it for 10 years don't know how big a problem that is.

THe problem with that forum is they extort money out of you in order to even see the good sections of the forum.
I've never seen a forum block access to all the good stuff until you pay them.

I have not looked for years and as a founding member maybe I am grandfather in.
On the other hand my Discovery owners group for my Motor Home had a annual dues that let me in on the forum. Over the years it was the BEST money I ever spent. Don't know how many hundreds of dollars I saved from ideas. So sometimes spending a few bucks might save money in the long run. I might have to sign on to the Nash site and see what is going on. With Ron Nash health problems and the management change maybe things have changed.
