Some models of Nuwa were made with Youngs frames, not Lippert. They sell their remaining new & used units out of Kansas City RV now that they are no longer manufacturing new units. They are above mid-range, but may be affordable in a clearance or used unit.

Nice trailers & i knew someone that had one that was very happy. But, kinda the same situation as Northwoods as far as sales/service go.

Don't forget that Lippert bought Dexter so your options are even more limited now.

didn't know that. Definitely makes it harder as you say....

Northwoods is top notch. Touch to beat for the price. However, I've had several RV's with Lippert frames including my newest and never any problems.

Couldn't slam Excel for quality, but even their "cheaper" rigs are not what I would call "mid-range".

Given deep pocket, they would certainly be on my list

yea, same here. They don't seem to be in my mid-range but they seem to be nice quality trailers from what i've seen and read. Maybe affordable as a used model if one could be found.

Shadow, besides Arctic Fox, in the past Northwoods made a Nash and Snow River 5er and still make a Fox Mountain.

I met some folk from Texas that wanted an Arctic Fox so bad they drove to Florida to pick it up. Up until they drove up in the north-west they were always the only Arctic Fox in the park. Once they got up here.....

Northwoods will also, routinely, authorize warranty work at the closest RV dealer, not just Northwood dealers.

Northwood Mfg. Makers of Arctic Fox. Great trailers and fivers, made on an in house made frame.

they do look like something i'd be interested in but no dealers close to me so not sure about sales & service convenience.
