1. What kind of suspension upgrades will I need to make for this truck/camper combination?

2. Any guesses on delivery time frame assuming I order before the end of the month? Keep in mind I live in AK.

3. Thermal Panes?

It would be great to hear from someone who has bought an Arctic Fox from the lone dealer in the Anchorage area in the last few years. I could certainly use some clarity on the price issue.

Thanks

1. Try your truck stock, otherwise TorkLift StableLoads are a great easy and inexpensive upgrade. I picked my StableLoads up at Alaska Performance RV on the corner of Raspberry and Arctic for less than MSRP (which you know isn't common up here for anything special ordered).

2. Delivery is dependent on when the shipments head north. The dealer knows what is coming up, but not the actual arrival date due to weather on the AlCan highway. I saw my Wolf Creek arrive on a truck that was towing a travel trailer (I passed them going the other way on the Glenn Highway on my way up to Eureka).

3. A coworker of mine wished he had the storm windows instead on his AF. I have storm windows, but think that thermal panes would be nice.

I have had great service from Valley RV. ABC out by the airport used to be the AF dealer, they lost it to Valley RV, I'm not sure why. The salesman used to be at ABC, so he has been selling AF and Lance for many years, and now Wolf Creeks. Valley RV worked on pricing with me, but I'm certain not as cheap as the lower 48, just like everything up here. They prepped it very well (The Alcan makes them filthy) and went over every little detail with me. After my first trip out, I brought it in for a few minor issues that were fixed right away. My only recurring problem is my bathroom door snap/latch, your AF will not have that problem.

Send me a message if you have any other questions that you may not want on the forum.
