Every day I wish that I would have bought the Arctic Fox, the price was high but it would have spared me from a very miserable experience.

Agree on QC dropping. But it's hard to find a more solid built unit. From the in house frames to the solid cabinets. We are on season 3 with our Fox Mountain, which is a step under the Arctic Fox line and with the exception of a slight plumbing leak in the 1st week it's been virtually trouble free. We tend to make the rounds during RV show season and it's really amazing to walk thru some units and feel around. Northwood has all the backing and support in their walls and floors so you get a real solid feel. Sure they make a few mistakes on units now and it sounds like it started in 2013. But I would take some cosmetic issue and a solid built unit any day. I think it boils down to all the little things that NW does that helps set it apart.
With all that being said I really like what Outdoor RV is doing with their exterior design, floor plan choices and interior colors. Large TV's and big holding tanks make them a nice alternative to the AF line.
