Arctic Fox Says no off road????

So I just got rid of my 02 990 A/F dry bath. Ordered a 2021 1150 dry bath. Called Arctic Fox to ask if the new camper will hold up to off road as well as the old A/F. We are talking 2wd roads small rocks, graded etc. His quote. I don't recommend you off road with any of our campers. Any input?
Thanks, Andy

  • You won't be able to take it on any roads in Pennsylvania. :B
  • One must define off roading..There is off the pavement on gravel and dirt roads,then there is off roading which is off any maintained road which the majority ot truck campers here can't do anyway because there to heavy/to wide/to tall and to long..

    I traded in my short Class C with great ground clearance, because every trip seemed to pop a seam, being built off the frame..I am not having that issue with my TC in the bed of the pickup and it only flexes with the pickup bed.

    Something like the Mcgruder road, from Elk City Idaho to Darby Montana through the mountains on a primitive un-maintained road, might define off roading..It is a road but a terrible road..
  • I just talked to Doug at Northwood He said no problem going off road Just be smart about it. Well I am happy again

  • I thought that is one reason we have truck campers. To go were you cant get a larger RV. My sales info for 2002 A/F says how better built they are for off road use compared to other brands.
  • I don’t think that is surprising. Probably almost no RVs are recommended to go offroad. That being said, there are plenty of paved roads that are pretty rough and some gravel roads are pretty rough as well..
