Blackstone TT from Outdoors RV

[Robbies_grandpa]

I know that Outdoors RV is owned by the same people that own Northwood Mfg. that make the Artic Fox line. I had planned to purchase an Artic Fox for retirement, but the Blackstone from Outdoors RV has some features that I prefer. Does anyone have experience with them and can compare the Blackstone to the Artic Fox?

I have an Outdoors RV Wind River and its been a great unit. The Black Stone was just coming out when we purchased our RV. I really like the idea of the Arctic Fox Silver Fox Edition with the 16 inch wheels. With the weight of the Black Stone the 15'' wheels would be a concern for me. I wish they would just upgrade these higher end trailers to 16'' wheels. Something to think about.

Thanks guys, I was thinking much of this, but I wanted to hear what others had to say. The one I am looking at lists at $56K, but they are offering it for $42K.

I think the AF Silver fox units come with 16 inch rims and sit a little higher. Frames made at same location but not sure they are the same. With Outdoor units, the Blackstone is a alu frame walls and other areas. The units below have less alu and more wood as you go down the line. All have same outside skin. Salesman says they are somewhat flexible with an ordered unit. Like no graphics, and some seating options. I did hear they will be at the RV show in Pomona in October. The MSRP on many of the Blackstones I saw was $50+K. ouch. They better be ready to be flex on that price. Finally a TT with the quality of a 5er.

One year with a Outdoors Creekside, no issues outside of the pantry door opening while travelling and a tankless water heater.

From what I saw is the Outdoors line shares all the rugged construction and high quality build with newer highly styled interiors and the newest features. The Blackstone I saw was the nicest TT I've seen.

As far as I can tell they are very similar. In particular, the frames are made by the same people.

I don't own either but have looked at both. The AF Silver fox would be better off road or going to alaska. The Blackstone is more refined and nicer perhaps inside. Both are well built and will be the last one you need to buy so get the one you want the first time. I would go with the blackstone or the wind river. These are not light weight TT's past the 30 ft mark.
