Nothwoods 5th Wheels

What other 5th wheel is comparable to the Arctic Fox line?

Both are well make and as stated prior both are heavy for their size relative to other RV manufacturers similar products. Spend some quality time on the Northwoods web pages and you can learn about the differences. Nash was typically wood framed (not that that is bad) while Arctic Fox was aluminum if that matters to you. Look at the width of walls, the front and rear end caps or not, etc. Then you can decide. I find the weight issue to be a minimal consideration between similar size units and would go with the Arctic Fox if you find a coach that works for you. I have a TT with a front end cap and it really is important to me not just for looks but for deflecting flying objects like rocks and blowing sand in windy areas. It is a well worth option for me. Another consideration would be to determine if you are planning to spend lots of the year in the RV, or just be recreational weekend RVers. The Arctic Fox is made well enough to support full time living in it. Not every RV you look at is designed for full time useage. I have been looking at Arctic Fox products as I would like a more full time living RV. I don't think you can go wrong with a Northwood's product.

Thank you. We are going to look at a Fox Mountain 2755BS that tops out at 31 1/2'. The Gross Wt for the trailer is just shy of 10,000 lbs.

My tow vehicle is a 2008 Ford F-250 6.4L diesel. Will this be too much trailer for my truck?

Thanks

Donn purty much nailed it. The Fox Mountain line has replaced the Nash line as their "lower end" 5er.

Both are well made, Northwoods uses employee incentive to encourage employees to "build it right".

I noticed that Fox Mountain has switched from "RV Queen" to "Full Queen" recently, I've also noted they have "ramped up" the appointments to the Fox Mountain recently.

They actually have ramped up the appointments to the Arctic Fox since we bought ours, and that is just two model years.

The Arctic Fox is top of the line fully loaded with lots of amenities. Everything else is below it. Fox Mountain is the lightest and most basic of the Northwood products. Be aware all of Northwoods products are very heavy for their size and really need a lot more tow vehicle that others.
