Arctic Fox 29-5K feedback?
Any feedback on this model? Good/Bad? Happy with your purchase? Does the slide room wall that blocks the fridge when it's retracted bother you? We love this floorplan and the overall feel of the coach...

I’ll give you a unique perspective. We currently have an 2016 Arctic Fox 27-5L, before that we had a Komfort rear kitchen, the floor plan was very simular to the 29-5K.
For the floor plan, we never had an issue with the fridge being blocked by the slide. We still haul things to the trailer in batches, bedroom going there, food headed to the kitchen, etc. For the food, we just would wait to fill the fridge once the slide was out and fill it all at the same time. When traveling if we planned a lunch stop we would plan accordingly with a few things in a small cooler. The living area was very good as was the bed/bathroom area.
Now to the Arctic Fox. They are known to be heavy rigs. Ours is about the same weight as our Komfort was, but is about 4 feet shorter. The difference in the trailer length is between the pin box and axles. Ours tows better than the Komfort and being shorter is easier getting into tight sites and can pick from more sites. Arctic Fox builds a very good rig for the price point. That’s not saying they don’t have some quality control issues. Some we had were pretty minor. I’ve done many mods with ours so learned many of the componants are better than other brands. They build their own frames which is one thing they are known for and are excellent.
