We went to the Seattle RV show. We upgraded our 1150 to a newer one but because of Northwoods production schedule our new camper will not come until July when it will be a 2021 model. Several of the changes:

Light Gray color with black trim like the current Legacy models. You can see a 990 here:

Legacy AF990

They are getting rid of (even on current AF's) the sliding window facing the truck rear window and replacing it with a solid window. Supposedly for leaks but we are going to miss that window since you could leave it open at all times when you were set up.

The ladder will be the bigger "tube" model, also seen in the current Legacy.

The Legacy models (they are also doing a Legacy 1150 run around March) features the new frameless windows but we were assured that would not be a standard feature of the 2021 models.

Howdy Brholt,
What made you decide to get a new camper ?
Are you getting the same model ?
We've been looking at the 1150 as we like the ability to get a sofa, the large tanks and being able to access the inside with the slide in. (for quick bathroom and snack breaks)

Our current camper is 7 years old and has served us well. Everything works if a bit used over the 410 nights we have spent in it. However, my wife just retired and I will retire in June when we will move to full time living in it. Given the age of the unit we were a little bit worried things would start to break and by moving to a new unit we could avoid that while still getting pretty good value on the old one.

In addition we really like the higher overhead space in the bed (ours was the last year where the bed area sloped) and they eliminated the shelf that ran across the bed area that I would hit my head on. The "cathedral" ceiling in the camper also really opens up the feeling of the camper (though at an increase in height - we ordered the low profile AC). There are a number of additional changes that are nice too. The "bad" changes are the elimination of the slider window to the truck and the closet next to the refrigerator getting smaller.

Yes, same model. We really like the 1150. We looked at Lance, Eagle Cap, and the Host models, (Cascade, Mammoth) at the show and came back to the 1150 with a wet bath which feels very spacious inside.

Yes, those are all advantages. We did not want the sofa because it forces you to look inside the camper instead of being able to look outside (we try and orient the camper to give us a good view) but I can understand the appeal (We replaced the cushions in our current dinette with much firmer ones, that made it much more comfortable)
