We have narrowed down our search to these two models. 29-5T or 32-5M does anybody here have one, and any thoughts. Thanks

X 2 on the quality of the Arctic Fox. We have the 29-5K and find it to be perfect for what we do. We can travel in it and get into most forest service campgrounds.

I have the 29-5T and just love it, 2009 model. I find that with my long bed Silverado 2500, I can get into most natl forest spots, IF there is enough roadway in the approach. Wouldn't go any bigger for my purposes. Also, the 32-5M would require a dually in my opinion. My wife and I have lived in our trailer for 6 months at a time and it's big enough to do that without feeling crowded. But either model you choose will be great, just make sure you have plenty of truck.

And a must-have is dual pane windows. Lots people think they don't need them but they would be wrong. If you're going to spend time in a hot climate, make sure you have 2nd air conditioner. I love our onboard LPG generator, makes quick lunch stops very easy.

We don't either of those specific models, we are proud owners of 2013 27-5L, it is one solid unit. We did however convert to disc brakes and Sailun tires. As a side note, we went with the 27-5L for ease in tight parks and boondocking.

Another 27-5L owner. Bought ours used. It's lighter than the current models but still REALLY heavy for its length. I love the fact that everything is usable with slides in (aside from rear pantry and a lower cabinet).

We don't have the models you are looking at, but a 27-5L. Well built rig. Good luck in your decision!

We love our 2014 AF 27-5L and the wife wanted the 29-5T but we lacked the tow rig for that much weight. Good choice for Alaska weatherโ€ฆ.. get the tank 110v and 12v heaters.

Arctic Foxs are stoutly built from the frame up and therefore they are not a light weight rig.

Go over to the Northwood RV Owners Association Forum, it does cost $10 a year, but you can access most of it as a guest.

Are you planning the new rig with the same EcoBoost truck? I hope you have more than your F150 out front?

We have the 2012 29-5E.

The biggest reasons we purchased that model over the others available 5 years ago was the ability to access the fridge on a stop without putting out the slide and it would fit in our driveway.

It is hard to go wrong with a Northwoods.
