I have the option of two trailers ,same price,year everything . I thought there was somewhere on this site with a poll or rating comparison. Are the Nash trailers that good?

Northwood Manufacturing makes a good unit in both the Nash and Arctic Fox. We've had the Arctic Fox for 11 years and it has served us well.

The Nash line of TT are hands down better built. I have had mine since 2003 and it has been a tough rig with quality inside and out.
Notice things like the larger tires, bigger rated axles, thicker metal siding, solid cabinets with screws mounting it, large capacity tanks, solid plywood floor and sub roof, and the list goes on.....

Take the Nash product without question. Nash will be heavier because of the rugged construction.

Thanks for the feedback, interestingly enough the brochures for both state the dry weight is nearly identical.

Iwould go with the Nash. We have a Creekside which is built by their sister company that is supposed to be more entry level, and it seemed better quality then the new wilderness we were looking at from another near by dealer. Check out their message board. http://www.afnash.com/forum.php

I did, but I wanted to make sure that I got an unbiased opinion too.

The fact that there is a dedicated forum is probably a good clue as to the quality of the trailer.

Wilderness in an entry level unit..Nash is not. Much better construction, insulation, and better quality in the Nash..

Allow me to pile-on.

We've owned a Wilderness and a Nash, get the Nash

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.
