My two show favorites were First In Show to the Adventurer 856 Mid Wet Bath and a close second to the NorthernLite 10-2.
What made these two models show favorites (first and second) or are you just saying which two you could see yourself in?
Looking at the Host models, they seem to be still head and shoulders above the others with respect to innovation and features although they probably cost more as well.
These are two picks based upon our needs. The campers were all nicely built and appealing to all the different needs people have. We don't need slides or hugeness, just efficient space utilization. The HOST has had the same design for several years now I'm pretty sure. Of course it's not like there's room for a lot of change. You can only move around the pieces in so many ways. A friend has a Mammoth and it is a sweet setup! Going back to me and DW, I liked the 865 Mid Wet Bath ARCTIC FOX because it created separation from the bed area and the dinette/kitchen area. We are planning to spend a year or two on the road and that separation could help a lot with putting up with each other. Mostly in that Kelli is late to bed, late to rise, and I'm an early person. It would make that difference more manageable in a tight quarter over time. I would like a longer version of the 856. There is the Adventurer 910 Mid Bath that has a slide that when slid out, creates a wide opening between the bed area and Dinette/kitchen areas reducing that feeling of separation and privacy and we don't need a slide, then I also like the kitchen arrangement better in the ARCTIC FOX 865. The Adventurer 910 kitchen had a wide separation between sink and stove, I'd like them closer. The NorthernLite is beautiful inside but I have pretty much settled on a Mid Bath design. The factory rep said they used to make a Mid Bath but there wasn't enough demand for it and they are so busy building what they are concentrated on, it just isn't in the future even if I cried several buckets of tears. If NorthernLite did build a 10-2 in a mid bath design, my search would be over.
