Allegro Breeze 32BR
Just doing some groundwork and I don't have a dealer or private seller anywhere near me that I could actually go and see one of these. I've got two questions I'm hoping someone can answer: 1. The TV right next to the kitchen really looks shoved in there, and looks pretty difficult to view while sitting in virtually any of the seating spaces. I'm wondering if it's on some kind of adjustable arm? Otherwise, I'd have to do some major renovation and remove either the sofa or the U shaped dinette and turn it into an entertainment area. 2. The bedroom looks verrrrry tight next to the bed on either side. I realize this is what you're going to get with a 32 foot MH, I'm just curious how much space that really is. Is it even 24 inches?1.4KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Arctic Fox 27-5L

So far the only issues we've had is the window shade pulled out from the wall and a minor propane leak repaired this spring. $100 to repair at a non fox dealer. We've put on just under 20k miles on the unit and have used it in temps between -25 to 105 degrees. Lived in it between Nov-March in Gillette, Wyoming. Had the unit skirted, and made a noticeable difference in the winter months with the windy conditions of Wyoming. During the winter probably used 80 gallons of propane per month with the furnace set at 65 degrees. Ran the fireplace 16 hrs a day during the coldest times. We were never uncomfortable during these extremes. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Well that's good to know..although I don't really plan to camp in arctic temps, it would be nice to know I can. Also, I would assume that as good as these campers seem to be in the winter, they would be just as efficient in the summer when you're trying to keep them cool...629Views0likes0CommentsRe: Arctic Fox 27-5L

Plus I found a dealer in PA (which is not even on their website) who happens to have a 2018 27-5L, so I think I'm going to drive up there over the weekend to see it. Also, I've been looking at other campers in that price range that are that size, and they don't compare, even on paper. For one thing, I haven't found a single 30 foot fifth wheel with dual pane windows....even as an option. Problem is, all the higher end models for companies like Keystone, Heartland, etc. are 35+ feet Jeff, What dealer in PA sells AF, I'll be in market next year and their on my short list but I figured I'd have to look elsewhere since there's no dealers around. Here's the place in PA: https://www.kellyrvinc.com/629Views0likes0CommentsRe: Arctic Fox 27-5L

It took me over a year to find a used one within a 2 hr driving radius. Totally agree about the chair. We have it at home in our family room. It's a tank. You'd better have a 350/3500 to pull it or you'll likely be overloaded. Everything is accessible with slides in except the pantry in the kitchen, one nightstand drawer and 3 drawers under the wardrobe slide. We looked at lots of trailers and, IMHO, the quality on this unit was clearly visible. It's not perfect (hate the fading decals) but I would definitively buy it again. Thanks for this! For some reason I thought the resale value would be a little higher, just because of the lack of inventory of used 27-5Ls...so you're saying a five model year old camper has already lost half of it's value.I know that's pretty typical of most campers, I just thought Arctic Fox was different. Thanks for the info on room when the slide is in...good to know. I wonder if they've resolved the fading decals in the latter model years.... The trade in value is a set amount more than likely it's wholesale. What an owner initially pays for the RV determines the balance. In other words if the buyer paid closer to MSRP and trades it in it will seem like they're not getting as much for it. RV's do depreciate fast no doubt about that. But buying one for 30+% off MSRP gets you a better deal when selling. And not all dealers are the same. I recently emailed one dealer and called another about a trading mine in. One wanted to give me $13,000, the other $22,000 on a 4 year old 5th wheel that I paid $32,000 for. Retail is around $24,000 IMO. So point is lots of factors involved when selling/trading in. I guess supply and demand also has something to do with it. Since they make so few units (relatively speaking) and since few people seem to sell them, seems like a few year old 27-5L would probably be pretty much in demand...especially on the east coast where you can't easily get one even from a dealer629Views0likes0Comments
