Wolf Creek/ Artic Fox owners
I am looking at a WC or maybe the lightest AF. I have some general questions about them. Can you make the WC's comfortable in temps as low as freezing and as high as mid 90's? How big is the ge...

I have an AF 865, no slide out with an Onan 2500 onboard. I have used the generator for an hour or two now and again, it is pretty decent and uses less propane than estimated.
I have camped into the mid-20's at night and 100 degree days and generally don't use the a/c unless hooked to shore power. Heat is fine, it is not ducted into the bathroom on mine and that makes for a chilly morning pitstop on a cold morning. The a/c is cold enough to freeze you out of the camper.
The bed area is fine and stays warm, aim a vent up and back and you are in business. Ice chest goes on the floor inside the door, there is a 6 foot slide out tray for tools and small storage under the bathroom sink (outside access) and inside the valve area. We haul extra stuff up top or in the back seat of our dual cab. I store two or three folding chairs in the bathroom and maybe a small folding Coleman table. I have a bike rack on the ladder and spare tire is up front on a front hitch mount.
All AF campers are heavy in my opinion, the Truck Camper magazine estimated wet weights are pretty accurate. As far as I can tell everyone is heavier than they claim. A properly set-up single rear wheel truck does fine in spite of what some of the weight Nazis on this forum tell you.
A Wolf Creek is lighter and has a few items that are not as fancy as an AF, I looked at both. I actually hunted thru every brand locally available to me. AF had the tallest over bed ceiling and high quality for the most part.
