Thank you so much explaining about the slide and what happens if it wouldn't retract. Your video was very informative and highlighted things no one else has mentioned.
Great review, the amount of storage on that thing is crazy. I opted for a fiberglass NL 9-6 a couple years ago, mainly because im in the coastal rain forest area and i wanted to keep the seams to a minimum. The main features i like are the 2 piece construction, kinda like a boat, and the heated basement storage, you can fit ski's and dome tents and the like, its huge. I only have 2-20lb LP tanks but they're still tough to manouvre, even with the sliding tray so I have a small 12 inch folding step just for that job.
Howard,we love your ArcticFox videos. We’re trading in our 2023 AF 992 today for the 2024 AF 1150. Looking forward to the extra storage and roll over couch. Thanks for all the great insight!
The auto retract feature isn’t as useful as one might think. We had just such a surprise in the first six months of owning our Lance 1985. We’d rolled into the Nashville KOA on a hot June day. Sky was blue and the air was still. I deployed the awning and went inside to run a channel search on the TV. A squall came out of nowhere and destroyed our Carefree of Colorado awning. Apparently a common phenomenon at that campground. The funny thing was the awning retracted with broken arms on each end. 😂 Took six months, a Christmas miracle and $3,500 to fix.
Nice job on the tour. I bought a 2022 Lance 1172. I like the interior layout. We e had some warranty issues. Shower tub surround cracked in 3 places. They asked how it happened. How should I know. We hadn’t even used it. Obviously it wasn’t installed properly. Fridge didn’t work on propane. Line was getting pinched when slide went out. Dealer put a hole in one of the slide out toppers. The camper is at the dealer now to get everything fixed. Not impressed.
I enjoy your videos on the AF1140. Please keep them coming. We have a ‘24 AF1150 on order. I will do as you did and request the grab handle be shipped loose and not mounted. How is the slide out awning working for you? Is this a dry bath? How far is the CG from the front? Good input on the Starlink vs factory mounted dish. Will appreciate your feedback. Please keep the TC videos coming! Thanks, Kevin
We're expecting delivery of an 1150 any day now. Seeing your walkthrough has made me think of a few questions. First, how long of a hitch extension did you end up getting? I had assumed that a 4' extension would be enough but seeing your fox landing all folded up makes me question that. Second, how are you getting the Starlink cable inside the unit? My thought was to rewire that satellite connection plug with an RJ45 plug and then from the inside, run a short cable to the router. I'm hoping there's an easier way! Third, how do you find your battery life with the 12v-only fridge?
What about the fact that there’s no inverter on their campers and they make it almost impossible because of how tight the battery are compacted in their, also what if I wanted to upgrade with bigger batteries, that and the fact that they don’t have an escape hatch is a deal breaker for me; I’ll stick to a Host Camper
Excellent video!

Thanks for the very honest and sincere review, this makes a possible buyer of a camper well informed and giving this brand a total thumbs up.
“You can’t say enough”? I do not recall seeing you take a breath. Haha.
Good video. Gratitude from another Canadian RV Traveller.
Great video. Very helpful.

Why is the window broken? Is that something you did or something arctic fox did?
