We currently own a Keystone Raptor. We purchased a 22' Sea Ray bowrider last year and now we are looking at truck campers to replace the Raptor. The thought being, we can tow the boat and still camp. We own an F350 with a six foot bed. We are leaning toward an Artic Fox because of the size of the bathroom for my 6' 200lb husband. Could I get the pros and cons of this camper from other owners?

Welcome to the RV.net Truck Camper Forum.
Which Arctic Fox model are you looking at?

we have one, only draw back i now have is it has a big overhang on the truck. i have a stinger for towing our tacoma. but to tow anything with tongue weight i would want a long bed or dually prefered. good camper tho comfy and roomy.

It's a good choice. There have been relatively few complaints about them and they have good customer service.

I'd have to second Beddows (although I'm a bit prejudiced towards AF). When initially looking we were impressed with the roominess.

We have an 05 AF 860 on our F350. 5 inches less overhang than the 811 which is what I like plus we bought it used last year for 16500 fully loaded.
We tow our 22 foot V drive wakeboard boad that weighs in at 5500 lbs.
I use the Super Hitch and love it.
We are really happy with our camper.

While I don't own either brand, the roomiest bathroom I have seen for a SB camper was in the Alpenlite 935.

Not the same model but we like our AF and also use the Super Hitch and 28in extension to tow. Work great.
