We have a 2014 Arctic Fox 1150. We had an issue a couple of weeks ago when the slide make a loud noise just as it got all the way in and then it would not move at all. It turned out that the bolt connecting the moter to the slide mechanism had brok...
We are planning a trip to Nova Scotia in July and prefer to travel without reservations. We have a truck camper and are fine with boondocking or camp sites with minimal services. We will be exploring the entire province and will be there for roughl...
Like many truck camper owners, we need to remove the tailgate from our truck before loading the camper. We had been just setting it on a couple of saw horses, but that took quite a bit of space. DH used a bunch of wood scraps we had hanging around ...
We are currently in Haines and will be headed to Skagway tomorrow. We've been traveling in Canada and Alaska since May 11 and are having a wonderful time. We've had a mix of good and bad weather as well as good and bad roads, but overall, it has be...

We are leaving for Newfoundland and Labrador tomorrow. I checked in with the travel bureau in Labrador earlier this year and this is what they said about the roads: "The road from St. Barbe to Red Bay is paved but has rough sections/potholes. The r...

Just wanted to give folks an update. We've spoken to Northwoods Mfg. They believe it is a timing issue. Not sure exactly what that is in terms of a slide out, but the bottom line is that they have suggested we need to bring it to our dealer for se...
We have a DRW and took our camper to Alaska last year. We traveled lots of dirt road, with no issues. We were limited more by the height of the camper than we were by the width.
Our AF1150 is quite useable with the slide in. It is a bit tight between the dinette and the bathroom, but it is workable. Plenty of room in the kitchen. We leave it in when stopping during the day, when stealth camping, or when the weather is ver...
