AF's are a really stout built RV. Personally I think that the interiors could use some help though. Rarely hear of problems with them and they do stand up well. Biggest problem seems to be that because they are so heavy you need more TV than one would think for the size. Pulled one for several years. Check out the AFNASH rv club probably get a good feeling for them from there.
We have a Desert Fox which is the toyhauler line. I took us a year to decide which brand to buy and went with DF due to the build quality over the other toyhaulers. Yes some of the colors aren't as flashy and we didn't get a giant picture window. We did get a well built 5'er that has been trouble free for the first year and 3500 miles. We mainly boondock so we put all the systems to the test. It is a true four season trailer.
I like the 27-5L as well. I especially like the closet slide out. I had the same thing in the Itasca MH and I liked it. I have been considering downsizing to a smaller 5th and the Arctic Fox 27-5L is the one favor.

Couple small issues in the first year..they are not perfect but you hear far less complaints overall...usually not big ones either.
Mine's been great for 4 years and about 10,000 miles of towing, lived in it for 1.5 months while house remodeling, most of the last several trips were 2 weeks or so...again no issues.
While heavy..they have lighter pin weights than many...I load mine up to keep the pin light and it still tows great.

As you can see in our Sigunature, we have the Nash 245K, which is also built by Northwoods Industries, which makes The Arctic Fox and the Desert Fox as well. They are on the Heavy Side, but are built a whole lot better than most other brands out there. And are as solid as a rock. They are also built to last a very, very long time, if you take care of them. Ours is now 12 years young, and still in Mint Condition. This Nash 24ft 5er, has served us so well, that we will keep it for the rest of our lives, and for as long as we continue to keep on RV'ing. As we already have some 40+ years in as RV'ers. And not one problem in 12 years. Our Dry-Weight is #5,580 pds. Thats pretty heavy for only a 24ft'er, as most 24 ft'ers are in the #3500 lb range to maybe the #4000 lb range. Our Max is 7000 lbs. I have done a lot of Mods to our Nash, to make it even better and more enjoyabe than when it was new. We have all of the same comforts of a much larger 5er, but just as much room. Another big plus for smaller 5er's, is that I can get into any site, in campgrounds or Dry-Camping/RV'ing, where much larger RV's can only dream of. We wouldn't trade our 1996 Nash 245K for any other RV out there. We've got us a good keeper. The same thing for our 1997 F-250 H.D. PSD, which also is in Mint Condition. Both of them will out-last us for sure, and will be given to our kids to enjoy for many years to come. I guess you can't tell how much we enjoy our Nash 24ft 5er. Good Luck. Happy Camping, Dan & Jill
