My old 2001 Fleetwood angler is really on its last leg. I stay in it for work. Feels like a piece of me is going to leave with it. I've lived in it 3 of 4 years that I've been at this job. I nomad around in the summer, and in the pass winters I've parked it at a friends but this winter I decided to leave it on the truck and stay closer to the mine. I'm a supervisor so at times I feel like I live at the mine. Well after the roof leaked on me 3 times on the old angler and the furnace quit on me again this winter. The fan failed after making noise for well 4 years. This thing is done. So I went out and got a 2020 northern lite 9.6 sportsman. Its pretty basic no tv, but I don't watch tv anyways. Has solar panels on it and I got them to upgrade the batteries to 6 volts. Its a heck of a upgrade, this is the second night I've stayed in it, Its way warmer and I don't feel the drafts like I did with the old one. I really wish I had it 2 weeks ago when it was -20. Olwell haha I built frame mounts, but after getting the camper on, I didn't build the front mounts forward enough, so right now I have it on my bed mounts which I already had. I can't believe what they want for torklift mounts. $900 bucks is just crazy. Ill rock the bed mounts, they look like there holding up fine. I've been trying to hold off buying anything, paid off my superduty and my 5th wheel last year and got rid of another payment I had. But I should of done this a while ago.... I will say that old Angler was the best $1000 bucks I ever spent. Saved me a lot of money and the wife is going to put it on facebook and see what we can get for it this spring. With the way things are priced, Idk she'll probably get $1000 bucks for it.... haha
