Arctic Fox is definitely the best I've looked at. |

So I have a 2455BH Lite Coleman (Dutchman). It's a 2022 that I've taken out 8 times in the past two years. A lot of bumpy dirt roads. Looking back, I've had a couple of little issues with it. The latch on the outdoors grill broke and disappeared. If you've checked the threads, my fridge has decided to work only on LP. Not fatal, since it still works, but a pain. The fittings around the interior pump worked loose. A quick hand tightening and that was fixed. The fuse on the furnace blew and I didn't have hot water. Now I have extra fuses and know how to replace if needed. Other than that it's been great. I looked at several different brands but none matched if for the combo of weight, features, and size (it's dry weight is 5600 & the hitch is 660). I'm sure there are better ones out there, but I have really enjoyed mine. Attached File |

I have the same problem with my Dometic fridge. Of course it's original to the '93 Fleetwood Caribou truck camper in which it's installed.  My fix is going to be of a different tack: take out the old fridge, cap the LP line, replace with a semi-portable car/truck fridge, which will then be run solely off electrical. I'm going to add a couple more 200w solar panels anyway. I should have more space for storage after all is said and done.

| Well, We ended up ordering a 2025 Northwood Nash 25KT. My local dealer had that model on site and a couple other models with different floor plans and options, but they sold the 25KT the day before we planned to go up and make a decision. But it worked out better because we liked that floor plan and a couple of options that the one on the lot didn't have, so we ordered it with the options we wanted. Should be local the beginning of February. |

| Not so much brands, as much as countries of manufacture…for sure CHINA, and their JUNK! The “names” on Chinese made junk aren’t actually name brands…they are more of a made up American sounding name that’s used for marketing purposes only! Harbor Freight, is sort of the exception, that I can think of. |
