Try Rugged Mountain truck campers..All wood with all the modern materials..They took over Northland and only build one TC a day..Heavier being all wood but lighter than Arctic Fox..
I have looked at Rugged Mountain, and I like what I’ve seen of them a lot. I’d like to see them swap the locations of the bathroom and dinette, and maybe put the dinette and pantry or wardrobe in a slide. I’d sooner buy a non-slide camper like the Rugged Mountaine Granite 11RL than any of the TC’s I know of with the fridge, galley sink, toilet and/or shower in the slide.
I know, I’m stubborn. We all have our little quirks. :W
Also, I’d be just fine with an aluminum framed version of the 1121 or 1161. I was just pointing out that both of these campers were made before Lance changed over to their current aluminum framing. Seems like it would be relatively easy to take those two old wood-frame designs and update them a bit. They were both good sellers when they were the current models. I love the way the dinette slide in both of them opens up the floor space, yet doesn’t completely block off the inside when it’s all the way in. Adding a basement to both of these would also increase the headroom available in the cabover bed area, something that both models would benefit from.
