Fox Landing

[macdale4]

Does anyone have an Arctic Fox with the Fox Landing? If so, pros/cons? How hard would it be to install myself?
Thanks.

Since your camper is new enough to have the bumper designed for the Fox Landing, it's a basic bolt on item.

I did a bunch of research on adding a the Fox Landing to my earlier model AF811 and found that it can be done, but the bumper needs replaced too:

We bought ours with the Fox Landing. We don't pull a trailer but would highly recommend it. Only con is price.

My trailer's tongue center mounted jack would get in the way of the landing unless I used a longer extension. Measure out the landing to make sure it clears anything you tow. We use the GlowSteps and GlowGuide because of the interference between the Fox Landing and our trailer.

You won't be disappointed in the AF landing. I mounted mine myself - real simple - all the hardware is included. Its aluminum and as I recall not very heavy. Your new 1150 should have all the holes pre-drilled making it a 30 minute install. You just need a combo wrench a socket and a socket wrench. Real simple.

This link has some pretty good pics albeit attached to an older AF1150 bumper. You wont need the heavy "L" bracket he used on the smaller bumper.

I have one & like it better than the flip down step that came with mine. If you leave camper on the truck depending how high your truck sits you will need another step on the ground.
Seeing you have a 2014 like mine it should have the bumper that already has the threaded bolt holes in the bumper. Although the dealer mounted mine it doesn't look like anything you couldn't do yourself. IF you have a floor jack to lift it for it is quite heavy. Be sure that all the bolts including the ones that are already installed are tight. I found several loose ones.
