We had an Arctic Fox 26J for 14 years, went places in all kinds of weather and really enjoyed it, always comfortable. When we decided we'd trade, we did research for a couple years and ended up with the same manufacturer (Northwood) for a Snow River. Both trailers have been solid, each has been a good purchase and we're happy with them. 
We've been camping in one form or another for over 40 years and when friends ask us about trailers, we tell them to go look at a Fox and compare it with what they're thinking about. They always come away impressed.
And yes they tend to run on the heavy side. Northwood builds their own chassis and it is STRONG; and the trailers are built to take rough treatment on our far-from-perfect back roads. I've been pulling with a half-ton and it can be done just fine; just watch the weight on whatever model you get. Figure about a thousand pounds over that, ready to roll out on an adventure.
Hope that helps.
