Sure. One word, quality.
Both AF and CC build what are considered some of the best. CC has a reputation for outstanding customer support. Even after 10 years, I can still call them and get answers I might need.
Cedar Creek, look at the Silverback line. Northwood, being local (Lagrande,OR) has both Arctic Fox, but Nash and a couple of other lines in the same family. Outstanding strength and durability built on an in house frame.
Don't forget the "Outdoors RV" line as well which uses the same frames as the Northwood brands. Both companies are owned by the same guy and built with similar equipment.
Being a Navy brat, I know what it's like to be moving around often. The other nice thing with Northwood is that they will work with whatever RV servicer you can find convenient to you (or that they can find near you). Really good after-sale support of which I'm pretty much sold on where I want to buy from because of that. Reading on these boards, it seems like only the originating dealer is the only help you can expect with warranty issues and most other dealers don't like to touch another dealer's sale (for warranty work at least).
