Hello from Wyoming!

Hi guys and gals. I figured I would start here!

I just purchased a 2008 Arctic Fox 25R from a local dealership. Those December price drops got me and I couldn’t see it walk away from this small town.

I was headed to Denver the next day to look at a 2013 Lance for the same price tag. The artic Fox vs Lance “disagreements” I saw on here were quite entertaining, but in the end it looked like there were positives and negatives to both.

This forum was so full of such useful information that when I went and signed the dotted line on the camper, I decided to join up and hope to give back to others in the future, as well as learn as much as I can with my camper.

My wife and I have been strictly using a wall tent or backpacking tent for our adventures but with the addition of our first child in July, we needed a little more comfort!

Thank you to all of those who do graciously shared their knowledge while I tried to research my purchase as much as I could!

We can do down the list if you guys want! There’s a pile of em!

I’m lucky enough to have been through most of them! The north central and northwest portions of the state are my least visited. Complete opposite of everyone else probably!

Well.........

And at one time or another I probably worked an oil rig close to most of them

Wyoming.

Welcome. I’ve been on just about every road in Wyoming. Can’t beat the donut shop in Dubois for starters. Love the state. Colorado getting too crowded.
