- Passin_ThruExplorerHave a 2004 31W (1 slider) Nothing bad about it at all. Pulls hard but so do every other trailer weighing in at 9500-1000K. Hauls lots of water, solid floors, good heat and air. We were warm in OH in a blizzard for 3 days and in Branson at 4 degrees. You need a stout 3/4 ton and lift hitch, airbags and front airshock or a 1 ton.
- stufarmerExplorerI forgot to mention that Arctic Fox travel trailers come in two model levels. They're first offering is called the Arctic Fox Classic. Still built on the famous Northwoods Frame, it's contents and building construction are closer to an upgraded Nash line. By no means considered an entry model. Their premium edition is called the Arctic Fox Silver Fox. This model is easy to be identified by the molded front and rear caps. The Silver Fox edition offers the higher build quality and increased insulation offerings to name a few. All the 5th wheels produced with the Arctic Fox name are all Silver Fox editions.
- bcsslcExplorerI've always been impressed with the Artic Fox, we would have gone that direction if we could have found a floor plan that had a combination of bunks and master suite For a family of 5.
- Judy_DExplorerours in a 2002 22 foot no slides. Still on the road Yes . Heavy Yes, Made to last Yes !!
Judy D - Redterpos3ExplorerSee our rig below. Did my research for many years. Northwoods and Lance were some of the few that had little bad tales on the internet. Though everyone has a lemon or three I'm sure. Heavy, yes. Built well, yes! High off ground, which I like (some don't). 4 season has worked well for us. Apparantly we enjoy the northern climates. Spent last week in Maine, and it was cold, we were toasty inside. The AC works nice also! We have over 8,000 miles on it now, and we really like it! Its our first trailer so nothing to compare it to. We had looked at the Denari also, which is a 4 season as well. It looked nice also. I think Northwoods does a good job with the converter, and the other usually unseen things that I've noticed so far. We have a lot of carrying capacity almost 3000lbs.
- Passin_ThruExplorerEverybody has at least 2 opinions. We own a 2004 Arctic Fox 31W, 1 slider, very nice rarely have trouble. We put Michelin LTs on it, rides better. We have a 2006 Duramax and when we leave home we weigh 19500 with 139 gal fuel. Your mileage may variy. We have a Reese Camover, Airlift Airbags and Firestone 100 front airshocks which I highly recommend. I get 10.9 MPG Avg and if anyone says they are getting better, they need to come prove it to me. It ahs Central heat and air which both work great and weve been in Branson at 4 degrees and stayed warm.
- stufarmerExplorer26x here.
Heavy for the size, yes. Not the most elegant interiors compared to many, but built to last. I'll take fewer interior bells & whistles for a RV that can travel the North West and come home in the same condition it was in when we left. - stufarmerExplorer26x here.

Very happy campers.
- redwing10ExplorerWe just bought a new 25Y arctic fox last Oct and love it. Do not have 2000 miles on it yet. What I liked best and I am a welding instructor is the frame and lazy boy chair. Is it heavy yes, but I will not need to build a new frame like our rockwood pop up when I travel in the backwoods and mnts of Colorado.
