Well I guess I'm one of the crazy ones, yes, we have been searching for a rig for a couple of years with all options on the table. We decided that we didn't want to trade in our 2016 F250 4x4 diesel for a dually for a 5th wheel so we homed in on TT's.

I started a year ago stating I wanted an Arctic Fox 32A and I let people talk me out of it because I'm on the East coast and finding a dealer is like finding Hens teeth so we investigated other TT's dropping the idea of the Arctic Fox, we did not find one we both liked. So back to my crazy idea of the 32A.

There was one dealership about 3 hours from us but did not have a 32A on the lot however they did have several other models that could give us a glimpse into the fit and finishes along with colors and extras. I wanted to build it with what we wanted.

We placed an order yes sight unseen and we are waiting on a build date. We ordered a 2018 but it may be a 2019 when we receive it. Factory said a build date of Feb/March another said early summer so I guess when I get the update of build I'll know.

We are excited and nervous but for us it was a deduction of what we were looking at and what we wanted and Arctic Fox fit the deal. We optioned it out fully and I think we got a good deal. I have talked to several people that have the 32A and all of them love it. If I get to the dealership and we see problems we will walk simple as that. I don't foresee any. Oh and this isn't the first time we have bought something sight unseen. It worked out well for us the other times so I guess we will see if the trend continues. It wasn't a whim it was something that we took our time and investigated fully before making the decision.

Good Luck.

Congrats and good luck.

Putting down a deposit of some kind and ordering from a factory is one thing.

Paying the entire amount without seeing the unit is something altogether different.
