Frequently asked
What is NuvoH20 filtration?
A salt-free water softener and filtration system that reduces hard-water scale buildup in plumbing and appliances. Useful for full-time use where you'll see varied campground water quality.
Which fits more campsites?
The Astoria 3173RLP at 36.7 ft fits most modern destination sites (40+ ft). The Eagle 370FBTS at 40.67 ft is too long for many older parks and national forest sites; verify length limits.
Is the Eagle 370FBTS worth $8,437 more?
If you camp full-time or in shoulder seasons, Climate Shield, NuvoH20, residential fridge, outdoor kitchen and washer/dryer prep are content that easily justifies the gap. For fair-weather couples camping, the Astoria's price advantage is more compelling.
