Pros/cons of Host vs Arctic Fox
Hi all, Looking for some thoughts on these two brands. I am looking for the good the bad and the ugly between these two. Warranty issues, poor attention to detail, leaking issues etc Thank you

Very disappointed in our Arctic Fox 1140 while in Mexico. The air conditioning unit could not dissipate condensation quickly enough and it would leak into the camper - cheap component AC.
Cheap thermostat - spring type, not digital controlled.
Smoke detector mounted over stove/oven. (Duh!)
Interior/Exterior light switches mounted in reverse positions.
Cheap stereo system (two star rating on Amazon).
Cheap mattress.
Rear bumper storge for sewer hose had tray that didn't pull out due to rear jack blocking it. (And the door lock for the sewer hose had a high security barrel lock! What's up with that!)
The good: Well thought out kitchen cabinets. . .utensil drawer sized for spoon/knife/fork tray with proper depth - not the 5-inch depth drawers which waste space.
Exterior storage large enough to fit a Weber grill into it plus room to spare.
A second exterior storage cabinet large enough to fit a Honda 1000 generator.
Large fridge (8 cu. ft. not the little 6 cu. ft).
So so: the dry bath was tiny.
