I am a new Rv'er and we shopped for over a year and looked at so many trailers it would make your head spin. My wife had watched all the Arctic fox videos and read whatever info was online and we finally decided to trek the 300+ miles to our closest dealer. We had gone to a few other dealerships that weekend before going to the Northwood dealer. Within 5 minutes we knew what brand we were going with.
It was a 95 degree weekend and every trailer we looked at was 120 degrees inside and smelled so bad of chemicals and fake wood, you couldn't stay in them for more than 5 minutes. When we went inside the first Arctic Fox it was 30 degrees cooler inside and there was nor particle board odor. Although the price was almost double some of the trailers we looked at, you can definitely see, feel and smell the difference. We ordered a 25w that day and got it about 6 months later. I am on my first season with it and it really is nice. It is insulated very well and stays at 65 degrees in 90 degree weather and is easy to heat with a small electric heater.
Here is a good video of the factory tour.

I like my Outdoor RV. HOOHAW!! Maybe mine was built on a Wednesday, but so far, it's FAR better then the 2016 Keystone Cougar that I worked on for two years. That's just my opinion and understand others may think differently.

Look over the features, a lot of their plusses are not readily visible, windows etc.

The list has shortened. After some shopping today we've tentatively decided it will likely be an Outdoors Back Country or an Arctic Fox (in that order of preference).
A good friend who's been in the RV industry as a Service Manager for almost 20 years shared his thoughts with us as well. Seems as though he believes they're almost all ****, just some less crappier than others ;). An earthquake on wheels. He suggested to add a Flagstaff to our list to at least check out in person before eliminating it from contention. He felt like next to Tiffin in the Class A world, no manufacturer stands behind their products any better when it comes to warranty work. He likes the Nash built products, just not how they treat their dealership network.

Looks like it meets most of your criteria, and I believe they have some customization capabilities up to what your wallet can afford
